In truth, every person's life is a world all unto its own, and even the most ordinary among us will fight till the bitter end for that world.

—Lu Yao, author

其实，我们每个人的生活都是一个世界，即使是最平凡的人，也要为他生活的那个世界而奋斗。

——作家路遥

In adult life, beating the enemy is no easy task. But, when people sense that you are no one to be trifled with, you will easily be given the respect you richly deserve, and you will easily be rewarded with many good relationships.

—Wu Zhihong, psychologist

成年人之间谁也不容易摧毁谁。当别人感知到你是一个不好惹的人时，你反而容易得到尊重，也容易收获好的关系。

In those who agree with me I see kindness； in those who disagree with me I see wisdom.

—Meditations on Lifeby Bi Shumin

我对赞同我的人，感悟的是他的善意。我对反对我的人，考察的是他的智慧。

——毕淑敏《关于人生的沉思》

There are a great many problems in life which cannot be solved by the power of the martial arts fist. The reason why Man is known as the wisest under creation is not because of his strength, but because of his intelligence. For if it were up to mere strength alone,Man would be powerless even to overcome the ass pulling the plough in the field.

—Gu Long, wuxia novelist

世上有很多事并不是武功可以解决的。人之所以为万物之灵，只因为他的智慧，并不是因为他的力气，若论力气，连匹驴子都要比人强得多。

——武侠小说家古龙

People often say, “It's because they are family that they understand each other,” or “It's because they are family that they tell each other everything.” But I'll tell you what, “It's because we are family that we don't want each other to know,” and “It's because we are family that we can't understand each other,” is actually closer to the truth.

—Hirokazu Kareeda,Japanese filmmaker

人们常说“正因为是家人才互相理解”“正因为是家人才无话不谈”，然而事实并非如此，“正因为是家人才不想让他们知道”“正因为是家人才无法理解”反而更符合现实。

——日本电影人是枝裕和
