  就我所知，罗宾最后一无所得，她也从没有索取过什么。她被菲尔迷住了，只是后来才慢慢得知菲尔的疾病。我记得她曾经打电话询问，菲尔是否留下过字条，但此后从未再出现在我们的生活中；她也从没有在采访中谈论过和菲尔的关系。她一定是位非常正派的人。我听说她嫁给了澳大利亚外交官，生活很平静，我希望她最终也走出了那件事情带来的阴影。

  也许他希望尤金像个东方的寡妇，陪伴主人葬身火海。我猜胡佛进入政治坟墓的同时，希望带着所有的家臣、家眷，甚至是宠物狗一同陪葬，就像伊朗人和塞西亚人首领一样。

  爬山非常辛苦，但也让我再次领悟到这样的事实——人在恢复体力后能够前进得更远。这一点非常有趣。我觉得着对于所有人来说都是重要的教训，因为它同样适用于精神努力。大多人终其一生都没有发现，这种重振旗鼓便能走的更远的现象存在于所有需要付出努力的领域。无论是精神还是肉体的努力，许多人已出现疲乏便选择了放弃。正因此，他们永远领略不到竭尽全力后的光荣与欣喜……

  Part of what contributed to the excitement of the Kennedy presidency for us was that these men surrounding the president, and indeed the president himself, were our friends and, for the most part, our contemporaries. We no longer were the younger acquaintances of the older generation constituting the government. Now our generation was running the country.

  The longer I live, the more I observe that carring around anger is most debilitating to the person who bears it.

  When management, for whatever reason, forfeits its basic right to manage, only trouble can result.

  (one interesting habit of Buffet) Whereas Otis Chandler collected antique cars, Warren collected "antique financial statements...[because] just as with geography or humans, it is interesting to take a snapshot of a business at widely different points in time- and reflect on what factors produced change as well as what differences the specific pattern of development from others also observed.

  As a manager, I was aware of the issues but had no clear idea how to lean on male-chauvinist managers to make changes. I felt that I and other women in management positions had a special duty to bury the old prejudices- first by refusing to accept them, and then by refuting them wherever and whenever we encountered them. Attitudes needed to be modified on both sides. Women had accepted the dubious assumptions and myths about themselves for much too long. And men had to be helped to break out of the assumption of which they, too, were victims.

  A home is not a house but a great big store of memories and if that is why a home is good it is also why a home alone is almost unbearable.

  Somerset Maugham: If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.

  人们对待死亡的反应非常复杂，尤其是面对双亲的去世，因为这个时候人会更多地感受到自我，以及自我与死亡之间再无间隔。现在，你变成了年老的一代。我相信，与逝者的关系越亲密，感情越深厚，悲伤就越深刻，越纯粹。父亲的孩子之中，哥哥受父亲去世的影响最大，也许是因为他们的关系本就复杂难解、矛盾重重；他们两人都没有过错，却从未亲近过。母亲对父亲的感情也异常混乱，他的离去令母亲非常难受。父亲的衰老给母亲带来了负担，也令她烦恼，但父亲去世后，她便沉浸在深深的抑郁情绪中。仿佛她一直靠着一扇门，如今这扇门猛然被打开了。

  父母的立身原则，那是我读过的最简单、最中肯的箴言。它对我意义重大，甚至今天仍旧如此：“在某些时候,父母直接指明行事原则，也许能够帮助孩子我不认为强硬地建议你去做某事会对你有益。我甚至觉得不需要建议你什么，因为我相信你能做出很好的判断。我所能为你做的，是偶尔指出某些已经在我思想中演变得可靠而务实的原则，倘若你能够理解并赞同这些原则，那么就应让你自己去应用它们。”
