if I let you know where I'm going, I won't be on holiday.

不赌就是赢 输钱不输命

we need to fail down here, so we don’t fail up there.

 亡羊补牢 为时未晚

wisdom is holding two contradictory truths in our mind, simultaneously, hope and despair. a life without despair is a life without hope.

戒酒，不是不沾就是戒了，而是沾了不醉，才叫戒。

"Some wounds do not close. I have many such. One just walks around with them, and sometimes one can feel them filling with blood."

你这不叫缺，你这叫穷。

"I will need to act in a way that meets with the edges of my morality."

 人生就像射箭，梦想就像箭靶子。连箭靶子都找不到在哪，你每天拉弓有什么用。

"If I had a dream that didn't come true, I could at least be pissed off at the world. Instead I'm just pissed off at myself."

 这世界上成大事的男人都是因为女人。放弃爱情的男人，没一件事干的成。

courage is contagious.

 别人的性命是框金又包银
