没错,医学、法律、商业、工程,这些都是崇高的追求,足以支撑人的一生。
但诗歌、美丽、浪漫、爱情,这些才是我们活着的意义。
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. 学会自己思考,学会欣赏文学和语言的美妙,不管别人怎么说,文学和语言的确能改变世界。

然后从中学习,以免让我在生命终结时,却发现自己从来没有活过。
