記得 Romain Rolland 說過:「一個人的性格決定他的際遇。如果你喜歡保持你的性格,那麼,你就無權拒絕你的際遇」
我在 Wikiquote 上沒看到句話. 不過我還蠻喜歡 Romain Rolland 的句子. 不過我應該只有看過他寫的傳記, 沒看過他的文學作品. 所以下面是我從 Wikiquote 上找出來的.
Ref.: Romain Rolland - Wikiquote
Skepticism, riddling the faith of yesterday, prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow.
* As quoted in The Great Quotations (1960) by George Seldes, p. 864
Every man who is truly a man must learn to be alone in the midst of all others, and if need be against all others.
* As quoted in A Book of French Quotations (1963) by Norbert Guterman, p. 365
One makes mistakes; that is life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.
* As quoted in On Relationships: A Book for Teenagers (1999) by Kimberly Kirberger
No one ever reads a book. He reads himself through books, either to discover or to control himself. And the most objective books are the most deceptive. The greatest book is not the one whose message engraves itself on the brain, as a telegraphic message engraves itself on the ticker-tape, but the one whose vital impact opens up other viewpoints, and from writer to reader spreads the fire that is fed by the various essences, until it becomes a vast conflagration leaping from forest to forest.
* Ch. 2 : The Three Revelations
