We live in a world where people are judged by their worst actions, not their best.
我們生活在一個人們根據(jù)他們最壞的行為而不是最好的行為來評判的世界。
我不相信上帝，但我想念他。
You can never know anyone as completely as you want. But that’s all right, love is better.
你永遠無法像你希望的那樣完全了解一個人。但這沒關系，愛更好。
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
真相很少是純粹的，也從不簡單。
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
處理一個不自由的世界的唯一方法是變得如此絕對自由，以至于你的存在本身就是一種反叛。
The greatest fear is not of death but of life.
最大的恐懼不是死亡，而是生活。
The longer I live, the more I feel that the only way to live is to live with love.
我活得越久，越覺得生活的唯一方式就是帶著愛生活。
I don't believe in God, but I miss Him.
我不相信上帝，但我想念他。
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
過去是一個異國；他們在那里做事的方式不同。
You put together two people who have not been put together before; and sometimes the world is changed, sometimes not. They may crash and burn, or they may ignite and light up the sky.
你把兩個從未在一起的人放在一起；有時世界會改變，有時不會。他們可能會崩潰和燃燒，或者他們可能會點燃并照亮天空。
