骄傲是一头野兽,居于洞穴,游于沙漠;而虚荣则是一只鹦鹉,辗转于枝头之间,聒噪于众目之下。―――――福楼拜的鹦鹉
The greatest patriotism is to tell your country when it is behaving dishonorably, foolishly, viciously. 最大的爱国主义是当你的国家表现得无耻、愚蠢、邪恶的时候,直言不讳。―――――福楼拜的鹦鹉
一先令的传记故事将给你所有的事实,十英镑的传记故事还将给你提供所有的假设。―――――福楼拜的鹦鹉
To be stupid, and selfish, and to have good health are the three requirements for happiness – though if stupidity is lacking, the others are useless. 愚蠢、自私以及身体健康是幸福的三个条件――尽管如果愚蠢缺失的话,另两点也就毫无意义了。―――――福楼拜的鹦鹉
Do not participate: happiness lies in the imagination, not the act. Pleasure is found first in anticipation, later in memory. 不要身体力行:快乐在于想象中,不在于行动中。愉悦先在期待中,然后在记忆中。―――――福楼拜的鹦鹉
我的心正成为一块大墓地。―――――福楼拜的鹦鹉
