We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
我們讀詩和寫詩並非因為詩很可愛,而是因為我們是人類的成員,而人類充滿感情。醫學、法律、商業、工程都是高貴的行業,也是維生的必要條件。但是詩、美感、浪漫、愛,這些是我們生存的要素。
-Dead Poets Society春風化雨
Life is not being happy about how much you weigh, but just being happy with yourself. Anybody I wind up with is just going to have to accept me for who I am. I’m just going to have to accept myself for who I am.
生命快樂與否不在身材胖瘦,而在自我認同。跟我交往的人必須接納我本來的面貌,我也必須接納我自己。
-The Nutty Professor隨身變
Men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. No man can be friends with a woman he finds attractive, he always wants to have sex with her.
男人和女人當不成朋友,因為性這部分會從中作梗。沒有男人會和他認為迷人的女人作朋友,他總想和她上床。
-When Harry Met Sally當哈利碰上莎莉
My compliment to you is, you make me want to be a better man.
我對妳的讚美是:你讓我想變成一個更好的男人。
