人生(life)
我们曾如此渴望命运的波澜,到最后才发现,人生最曼妙的风景,竟是内心的淡定与从容。我们曾如此期盼外界的认可,到最后才知道,世界是自己的,与他人毫无关系。
——杨绛《一百岁感言》{oscarwilde的名言}.

惟有身处卑微的人,最有机缘看到世态人情的真相。一个人不想攀高就不怕下跌,也不用倾轧排挤,可以保其天真,成其自然,潜心一志完成自己能做的事。 我是一位老人,净说些老话。对于时代,我是落伍者,没有什么良言贡献给现代婚姻。只是在物质至上的时代潮流下,想提
醒年轻的朋友,男女结合最最重要的是感情,双方互相理解的程度,理解深才能互相欣赏、吸引、支持和鼓励,两情相悦。门当户对及其他,并不重要。
——杨绛
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
人生的目的不在于寻找自己,而在于创造自己。

It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can
with it, and make it the life you want to live.

名家资料英文介绍:奥斯卡·王尔德 Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), Irish poet and dramatist whose reputation rests on his comic masterpieces Lady Windermere's Fan温夫人的扇子 (1892) and The Importance of Being Earnest认真的重要性(1895). Among Wilde's other best-known works are his only novel The Picture of Dorian Gray多利安•格雷的画像 (1891) and his fairy tales especially "The Happy Prince."
Wilde was born on October 16, 1854 in Dublin to unconventional parents - his mother Lady Jane Francesca Wilde (1820-96), was a poet and journalist. His father was Sir William Wilde, an Irish antiquarian古物研究者,收集古物者(antiques), gifted writer, and specialist in diseases of the eye and ear. Wilde studied at Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh (1864-71), Trinity College, Dublin (1871-74) and Magdalen College, Oxford (1874-78).
In 1878 Wilde received his B.A. and in the same year he moved to London. His lifestyle and humorous wit soon made him the spokesman for
Aestheticism(唯美主义), the late 19th century movement in England that advocated art for art's sake. He worked as art reviewer (1881), lectured in the United States and Canada (1882), and lived in Paris (1883). Between the years 1883 and 1884 he lectured in Britain. From the mid-1880s he was a regular contributor for Pall Mall Gazette and Dramatic View. In 1884 Wilde married Constance Lloyd (died 1898), and to support his family Wilde edited in 1887-89 Woman's World. In 1888 he published The Happy Prince and Other Tales, fairy-stories written for his two sons. Wilde's marriage ended in 1893. He had met a few years earlier Lord Alfred Douglas, an athlete and a poet, who became both the love of the author's life and his downfall.
Wilde made his reputation in the theatre world between the years 1892 and 1895 with a series of highly popular plays. Lady Windermere's Fan (1892) dealt with a blackmailing divorce driven to self-sacrifice by maternal love. In A Woman of No
