| 諸葛亮之〈誡子文〉見諸〈太平御覽〉
"夫君子之行 靜以修身 儉以養德
非詹泊無以明志 非寧靜無以致遠
夫學需靜也 才需學也
非學無以廣才 非靜無以成學"
文中以其'儉'字尤為重要
乃品德修養之基礎 亦是學有所成之起點
而此字非只指節省 亦指過著簡樸的生活
能儉才能靜 而靜非只指環境 亦同指心境
簡樸與豐盛看似對立 實是一致
於廉潔之上 方能成學 再而廣才 達到明志致遠
實乃諸葛亮其人之處世態度
亦是他對吾等最由衷之告誡

| "In my fantasy"
In my fantasy I see a just world,
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of souls that are always free
Like the clouds that float
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
In my fantasy I see a bright world
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that float
In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That blows into the city, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the clouds that float
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
Translated from the original Italian version of Sarah Brightman's "Nella Fantasia"
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima. | | |
| 有一種旁觀，是自我選擇的態度和立場，為的是保持一點距離，是面對一些變遷的方法。
另有一種旁觀，卻不是自由意志的選擇，而是在那個情境，別無他法，甚麼也做不來，甚麼忙也幫不上，或者，還輪不到幫忙。於是只能旁觀，感到非常無力，卻看見人所局限的位置。
此時，有一種鬱結在瀰漫，他自覺是倖存者，都想做一點甚麼，去捐錢，去捐血，心舒坦一點，但過了不久，又開始鬱結起來，好像有一塊很重的石頭壓在心上，於是又去捐錢又去做點甚麼。
從此又一次了解生的局限，人的弱小。

| On Love
"Now try," she said, "to concentrate as hard as you can. Anyone who has been educated this far in the ways of love, viewing beautiful things in the right order and way, will now reach the goal of love's ways. He will suddenly catch sight of something amazingly beautiful in its nature; this, Socrates, is the ultimate objective of all the previous efforts. First, this beauty always is, and doesn't come into being or ceases; it doesn't increase or diminish. Second, it's not beautiful in one respect but ugly in another, or beautiful at one time but not at another, or beautiful in relation to this but ugly in relation to that; nor beautiful here and ugly there because it is beautiful for some people but ugly for others. Nor will beauty appear to him in the form of a face or hands or any part of the body; or a specific account or piece of knowledge; or as being anywhere in something else... It will appear in itself and by itself, always single in form; all other beautiful things share its character, but do so in such a way that, when other things come to be or cease, it is not increased or decreased in any way nor does it undergo any change."
- by Diotima of Mantinea in roughly 401-399BC | | |
| Persia. Splendid. Behold the scenic views and many splendors, it is a land full of wonders that fill your senses. The reflection of glistering water on the gulf banks, pristine mountains and warm sands, beautiful mosques and mesmerizing stones. One of nature's immortals, powerful enough to endure the passage of time. One of nature's stalwarts, such that even mere pebbles boast the vast strength of mountains. Once again. The collective conscious. Alexander, Cyrus, Darius, Xerses... swallowed me momentarily. Not that they come alive in me; it is me who lives in them. And now I am going to disappear inside, again, as is only fitting. Yes, history is like a girl. | | |
