sylvia plath

「眼淚的存在，是為了証明，悲哀不是一場幻覺。 那麼連眼淚都没有了呢？那麼只剩得徒然為自己所作的假設之後呢？悲哀又是什麼？ 我所看過寫悲最有同感的文字來自亦舒：在該刹那，身體一部分永遠死亡。 通俗點說：走肉行屍，具體點說：連呼吸都覺得累，呼吸太造作的话，不如說， 一想起還要繼續坐着的話，忽然茫無頭绪，但覺累不可支，已跟失眠無關。 你試過走着入睡，睡到失眠嗎？那是比失戀是一場感冒更可遇不可求的發現。 我所理解最悲的事情是﹕悲哀後遗症，引致打後的歡娛都得小心翼翼，樂而忘返的日子，一去不返，再也没有投入的資格。 誰给我全世界，我都會懷疑，心花怒放，卻開到荼靡。 林夕說，他寫過最悲的事情是﹕原来我非不快樂，只我一人未發覺。 他說，他所知道最有效的悲極生樂古方﹕要决心忘記，我便記不起。 我們不斷成長，就是為了遺忘。」

"Be happy in whatever you do. I love how that sounds."

寂寞古池躍青蛙 水有聲 這句子好在什麼地方呢？其實它的好一半在作者的敘述，一半在它跟讀者之間共有的默契。什麼默契？你必須先同意素樸的、簡約的、收斂的美，你必須用數學上的減法，把場景減到極枯寂極空靈，然後，悄然浮出的那一點才是美。

Remembrance is a form of meeting; Forgetfulness is a form of freedom. 記憶，是一種使人相遇的形式。遺忘，卻是一種重獲自由的方式。 紀伯倫（Kahil Gibran）

"What is a joutney? A journey is not a trip. It's not a vacation. It's a process. A Discovery. It's a process of self-discovery. A journey brings us face to face with ourselves. A journey shows us not only the world, but how we fit in it. Does the person create the journey or does the journey create the person? The journey is life itself. Where will life take you?"

「郝明義在《工作DNA》裡說過一則比喻。他說人就像根天線，天線只有直立起來的時候，才能有效接收訊號，橫著擺，訊號總是比較模糊。人也一樣，只有立著的時（立著站，或立著坐），思考最為清晰，躺著趴著不是一個人清醒時該有的姿勢。」

幸福的真諦應該是「平安就是福」，能不能夠平安雖然和外在環境有關係，但是決定性的關鍵，還是在於主觀的自我心態—如果自己的心態能平安、知足，就是幸福；如果不知足，要獲得幸福就很難。
