I wish that I could tell every person that I meet that he or she is a beautiful person--and have them believe it. I wish I could look them in the eyes and tell them of their beauty and have them accept the words for what they truly are--the truth, plain and simple. 我希望能告诉我所遇到的每一个人...

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! 在一生有多少这样的时刻：我们对一个人朝思暮想，只想一把把他们从梦中拉出来，真切的拥抱一回！

Dear Arizona, 亲爱的亚利桑那：
My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck? And if so, how can I get more of it? 我的兄弟运气特别好，常有好事发生在他身上。你相信运气吗？如果真有运气，我怎样才能得到更多一些呢？

All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours...

Freedom Choice and Responsibility 自由 选择 责任
I love choices. 我爱选择。
I love to walk around in bookstores-not because I can buy all the books, 我喜欢在书店里徜徉，不是因为我能买下所有的书，
but because I could buy one book, and I have so many to choose from. 而是因为我...

In the winter of 1997, I saw a Spanish film called Abre Los Ojos. I couldn't get it out of my mind. The movie felt like a folk song to me, part fable, part poem, partly a committed conversation that you'd have with someone late at night when big ideas flowed easily. I wanted to be a part of that ...

The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birds arrive; the birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. all nature is a circl...

The same leaves over and over again!
They fall from giving shade above
To make one texture of faded brown
And fit the earth like a leather glove. 同样的叶子，一回又一回！
从投下树阴的高处飘落，
堆积成枯褐的纹理，
仿佛给大地戴上了皮手套。
Before the leaves can mount ...

Time Off—Vacation 空闲时光——度假

Truly happy and successful people get that way by becoming the best, most genuine version of themselves they can be. Not on the outside--on the inside. It's not about a brand, a reputation, a persona. It's about reality. Who you really are. 真正快乐成功的人会长成最好最真实的自己——从内...

In this life, what did you miss? 在生活中，你错过了什么？

A man is known by the company he keeps they say. If it is so,then everyone is bound to have their baggage of loneliness with them as companions. Loneliness is not something that doesn't exist at all with any human being on earth. Every human being feels lonely in his life at some point or other. ...

An apology can’t fix everything, and Benedict Cumberbatch seems to know that. “The damage is done,” he said in a statement to People magazine after receiving criticism for using the term “colored people” in an on-air interview with PBS’s Tavis Smiley.

If you are a woman, do you sometimes get annoyed when a man assumes you are an ignorant little girl and tries to explain something to you? And it often turns out he knows no more on the subject than you do.

2014年10月15日，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平在北京主持召开文艺工作座谈会并发表重要讲话。 新华网 联合早报网日前首页刊发关于《习近平召开文艺座谈会 吴祚来“口出狂言”被官媒屏蔽》报道，文中称“去年总书记习近平文艺座谈会上与72位文艺界人士座谈事件，对外公布的与会文艺界人士，仅71名。该名被屏蔽文艺界人士是吴祚来。因在文艺座谈会上，口出狂言，被官媒屏蔽”云云。

女人之美在于韵，男人之美在于度。孩子之美在于真，老人之美在于醇。静水流深，沧笙踏歌，如花美眷，只缘感你一回顾，使我常思朝与暮。转身后，一缕幽香远，逝雪浅，春意浓，笑意深。一叶绽放一追寻，一花盛开一世界，一生相思为一人。

余秀华 中新网北京1月31日电(上官云) 近日，曾身患脑瘫疾病的农民女诗人余秀华最新诗集《月光落在左手上》出版。31日下午，余秀华携新作现身北京，并接受媒体采访。拿到新出版的诗集，余秀华毫不掩饰激动的心情。她表示，从来没想到自己的诗歌会出版，当看到自己的诗歌变成纸上的文字时感觉非常神奇。

余秀华，1976年生，湖北钟祥市石牌镇横店村村民。因出生时倒产、缺氧而造成脑瘫，致使行动不便，高中毕业后赋闲在家。2009年开始写诗。《诗刊》编辑刘年在她的博客上发现了她的诗，惊艳于诗中深刻的生命体验、痛感，于2014年第九期刊发了她的诗，之后《诗刊》微信号又从中选发了几首。农民，残疾人，诗人，三种标签引爆...

高蒇县林园乡有一处白鹭鸶聚集的树林，几万只鹭鸶在翠绿的林中，仿佛是苍茫的海中白帆点点，白鹭鸶飞翔的姿势从容优美，起飞时真像帆船初航，回巢时则像归航。我随居住林园的朋友去看白鹭鸶，走近林中，才发现树林下有很多白鹭鸶的尸体，有许多骨肉都已化去，只留下一摊一摊的羽毛，在茂密的林间显得益发苍白。

谁轻抚了你的长发，你竟在月夜中挽髻插簪。谁轻抚了你的脸颊，你竟在冷风中打粉补妆。一个轻巧的青春身影，镜中依然泪眼凝重，只怪岁月的轻浮，调戏了正当华年，留下一曲悲歌，残年独吟。

我已经记不起你是何时走进我的世界，但你在我的世界里留下的那份美好的记忆，任凭时间的搁置，也不会褪色。或许都已经忘记那张老照片是在何时拍下的，但是那照片上的两人，却笑得如此明媚，好像带着彩虹的色彩。我在照片背面写下——你是我虔诚的信仰。你双眸凝视着我，说信仰是一个虚假的东西，我们应当归于现实。我踏遍苍山洱海，只为寻找自己内心那一份虔诚的信仰。步履艰难，却也无法停留我心中的那一份追求。——题记

远山，烟树，寒江。古寺，荒径，闲云。回眸远望，半个小城尽收眼底。独居小城，闲来无事，乘着周末，踏上一条通往高山寺的路，寺院在山巅之上，柳宗元曾经住过的。青石板的台阶，少有人来，苍苔和蕨类植物遍布，路旁蒿草也长了一人来高。
我不想拜佛，也不想烧香求取一些什么，只为一种心境，闲来转转...

曾经一直以为我是爱一个人的，曾经一直以为自己是忘不掉这个人的，曾经在某一个时刻会忽然想起这个人，想起的时候心里会隐隐作痛…… 那些记忆，在流逝的岁月里渐渐褪色，当它变得苍白而又模糊的时候，命运却安排了这短暂的遇见。以为已经忘掉的人，恢复在记忆里；以为不再记得的事，也一件件浮现；那些原本以为消褪的记忆，竟然变得如此清晰……
