徐悲鴻

p. 14

業精於勤荒於嬉

p. 21

人不可有傲氣, 但不能無傲骨

一個人到了山窮水盡的地步而能夠自拔, 才不算懦弱啊!

p. 33

你的祖國正在蒙受恥辱, 作為一個身異邦求學的中國人, 應該更加努力. 你要有志氣, 因為立志是事業的大門啊!

p. 38

做人要真誠, 要有自信, 不要拾棄真理而屈從別人

p. 45-46

借田橫威武不屈、富貴不淫的高亮氣節, 來貶斥當今社會上那些追名逐利、毫無氣節的腐朽奴才吧?

p. 47

古法之佳者守之，垂絕者繼之，不佳者改之，未足者增之，西方繪畫之可採者融之

p. 54

願為知己者用，不願為昏庸者制

p. 59

一個真正的畫家, 必須能夠為人類申訴

p. 76

直須此世非長夜, 漠漠窮荒有盡頭

p. 79

橫眉冷對千夫指, 俯首甘為孺子牛

The pain

I was angry and frustrated last evening. Then impulsively, I kicked my right foot against the door. Result? Knee pain.

It was as if in heaven for the last several days. Sunny days, no rain. Much less knee pain. And yet, when I'm almost free from the pain, I made the damage myself. And it was painful in the evening. Still a bit right now. Pain teaches. I'm here to learn the lesson.

Love thyself.
