“Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter a ripe rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a temper of will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.”
「年輕不是生命的一段時期，而是一種心理狀態；它不是玫瑰色的臉頰、紅潤的嘴唇或柔軟的雙膝；它是有關意志、想像力的品質、情緒的能量，它是來自生命泉源的朝氣。」– 塞繆爾．烏爾曼 (詩人)

“The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect.”
「其實，歸屬感始於接受自己，你感到認同的程度，事實上，絕不會超過你接受自己的程度，因為相信自己夠好，會帶給你勇氣，展現真實、脆弱及不完美的一面。」– 布芮尼．布朗 (學者)
