In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. The last is much the worst.
世上只有兩種悲劇。一種是得不到自己想要的，另一種是得到了。後者慘得多。
- Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900)
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
有時從惡夢中醒來後，我們會感到慶幸；或許我們死後也將如此。
- Nathaniel Hawthorne, writer (1804-1864)
When one has been threatened with a great injustice, one accepts a smaller as a favor.
在遭受巨大的不公義威脅後，人們會接受程度較輕的不公義，並認為這是一種恩惠。
- Jane Welsh Carlyle, letter writer (1801-1866)
