丈夫生世会几时，安能蹀躞垂羽翼？ — 拟行路难（其六） [南北朝] 鲍照 对案不能食，拔剑击柱长叹息。 丈夫生世会几时，安能蹀躞垂羽翼？ 弃置罢官去，还家自休息。 朝出与亲辞，暮还在亲侧。 弄儿床前戏，看妇机中织。 自古圣贤尽贫贱，何况我辈孤且直！

叶下斜阳照水，卷轻浪、沉沉千里。

西园公子名无忌，南国佳人号莫愁。

亲朋无一字，老病有孤舟。

但屈指西风几时来，又不道、流年暗中偷换。

肠已断，泪难收。相思重上小红楼。

怕人寻问， 咽泪装欢。 瞒， 瞒， 瞒！

薄悻不来门半掩， 斜阳， 负你残春泪几行。

数声风笛离亭晚，君向潇湘我向秦。

欢笑情如旧，萧疏鬓已斑。

新妆宜面下朱楼，深锁春光一院愁。

落日松风起，还家草露晞。

菩提只向心觅，何劳向外求玄？

翠袖低垂笼玉笋，红裙斜曳露金莲。

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want.

I've been a financial journalist for 30 years.

Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.

I would like not only to have a successful band, but I want to have children, a home, and a husband. Two or three. Children, not husbands!!!

I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of a baseball player. I couldn't play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn't preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing.

Pol Pot will surrender, be captured or commit suicide.

Behind every corrupt politician are 10-20 corrupt businessmen.

Do good and care not to whom.

I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

I'm really interested in the nondefinitive element of abstraction.

A lyric, it is true, is the expression of personal emotion, but then so is all poetry, and to suppose that there are several kinds of poetry, differing from each other in essence, is to be deceived by wholly artificial divisions which have no real being.

I don't think geometric art is... I don't like to call it that. I don't think it's any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn't have anything to do with purity.

America's neighbors are not drilling for fun or for sport; they've chosen to proceed to create new jobs, generate new revenues, and increase the energy supply and prosperity of their citizens.

I have lots of sources of information about what's going on at the company. I think I have a pretty good pulse on where we are and what people are thinking.

I saw that the war could not be prevented. The time had passed.

We will have to continue to improve our human intelligence system-something that was, unfortunately, lacking in the years which led up to September 11. This is going to be a continuing process of change.

After World War II great strides were made in modern Japanese architecture, not only in advanced technology, allowing earthquake resistant tall buildings, but expressing and infusing characteristics of traditional Japanese architecture in modern buildings.

I have my dark side. You have your dark side. From the second that we have a brain, there are things that are not right - we are human beings with all these illusions and complexes and everything. That's attractive to me.

I know Elon, we're very like minded in many ways. We're not conceptual twins. One thing I want us to do is go to Mars, but for me it's one thing. He's singularly focused on that. I think motivation wise, for me I don't find that Plan B idea motivating. I don't want a plan B for Earth, I want Plan B to make sure Plan A works.

I'm single and looking and failing miserably. I'm keeping my options open.

My customers are successful workingwomen.

I'm not a dating person.

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
