Vic - Quotes of the Day 6

2011810


It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than "try to be a little kinder."
終身關心人的問題,最後發現,除了勸大家「對人仁慈點」之外,再沒什麼好說,實在有點尷尬。

- Aldous Huxley, novelist (1894-1963)


It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.
若非工作纏身,休閒無法盡興。無事可做時,閒著並不好玩。此時消磨時光不過是疲累至極的苦差。閒與吻一樣,偷來的才美。

- Jerome K. Jerome, humorist and playwright (1859-1927)


A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.
幸福的婚姻,是兩個寬容者的結合。

- Robert Quillen, journalist and cartoonist (1887-1948)
