Seeing the sad look on the old professor’s face, I quickly comforted him and said: No one in our German literature is studying Wieland. There are a lot of people who are studying German literature. I don’t even know Wieland yet... Another colleague sitting next to me also quickly interjected: Our university is in line with international standards. The foreign language department of the university has courses such as foreign newspaper reading and technical German, but there is no classical literature course. In the past, foreign language departments mainly taught classical literature. Today, foreign language departments are just training machines that can speak foreign languages.

Similarly, Chinese people can speak fluent English without this kind of social environment. Therefore, the concepts contained in the treasure trove of natural languages ??(such as French, German, English, Swahili, Hindi, etc.) and the concepts contained in the social and cultural groups that speak this language cannot be equated.
——Richard Paul's "Critical Thinking Tools"
In the Bible, the Old Testament, the sages' statements are equally confusing: "The life of a fool is better than death." It’s even worse.” "The more intelligent you are, the more troubled you are." Here, I will not neglect to mention this type of people: because they only have the conventional and limited allocation of intelligence, they have no spiritual and intellectual requirements. They are also called "Filistans" in German.
——Schopenhauer's "The Wisdom of Life"
In today's United States, where transportation is developed and backcountry does not exist at all, there is actually a kind of immigrant called "Amish". They speak a language similar to German, completely reject modern life, use traditional farm tools, and live the "European rural life of the eighteenth century" in the United States from generation to generation.

A stormtrooper standing next to Lloyd yelled: "His tail! Bite his tail! "Lloyd thought that the German word for tail (der schwanz) was the proverbial penis. The stormtrooper was carried away with his joy.?
Jung's body was scarred and covered in blood. He was facing outward, The front of his body was pressed against the barbed wire, protecting his genitals, and he kicked his legs back hard. But he became weaker and weaker, and his kicks became increasingly weak. The dogs began to become unable to stand up straight. They bit him fiercely and chewed the bloody meat. ?
Finally, Jung collapsed to the ground.
The four dogs began to eat with concentration. p>

Prussia must gather its strength and hold it in its hands until the opportunity comes. This opportunity has been missed several times. . The Prussian frontiers established by the Treaty of Vienna were inimical to sound national life. The great questions of the day could not be settled by speeches and majority decisions—that was the mistake made in 1848 and 1849—but by It needs to be solved with iron and blood.

I am not a "sincere" person, and I don't mean to be "ironic". A dogmatist, not a fabulist.
Politics and economics, the atomic bomb, primitive and abstract art forms, the whole East, the signs of the "thaw" taking place in Soviet Russia, the future of mankind, etc., all this is of no importance to me. Just like my other novel "The Invitation to the Beheading" - which is obviously related to the current novel - "The Sign of the Bastard" does not mix with Kafka's work or Orwell's clichés. Analysis and mindless comparison will only prove that the person making the comparison has read neither the great German writer nor the second-rate English writer.
——Vladimir Nabokov's "The Sign of a Commoner"
Plowing, the daily plan of the hands, endless joy, the day's lesson has been completed! Take care of yourself, don’t be lazy, don’t play! This is not just a dream; there are no bare branches in front of me, but in the future, there will be abundant shade and fruitful results!

Don't try to convince people who disrespect you or hate you. Your words can't change anyone or anything. Many times, silence is golden, not only a virtue, but also a kind of wisdom.
——Rao Xueman's "Things Girls Should Know"
There is no need to be sensitive all the time, dullness is sometimes a virtue. Even if you can see through the motivation of a certain behavior or thought of the other party, you still need to pretend to be indifferent. Try to interpret language from a kind perspective and maintain a sense of being slower than the other person. This is the secret of social interaction and compassion for others.
——Friedrich Nietzsche
