Why should we learn history? One of my friends gives a vivid metaphor to illustrate the importance of history: One morning, you wake up and find you've lost all your memory, forgetting entirely of who you are.Think about how you should live in the future—you don't know anyone, which means you forget your own history.

——Professor Zhang Ming from Renmin University of China

Anyone with a firm love in their heart isn't likely to have it detected by those around.The only thing you can feel is the warmth in their eyes and the naivete in their smiles.The addition of affection makes them even softer and more sensitive.They become meticulous as if watching over a tender flame.They make those around sense the cozy and unrestrained tenderness of love in the atmosphere, instead of the fishy smell of hormones.

——Loveby Qing Shan

内心有着沉实恋情的人，不会让身边的人轻易察觉。你只会觉得他们的眼神中有暖意，笑容有童真，感情浸润着他们，使他们更柔软和敏感。他们像守护着一团火焰一样，小心翼翼。他们让身边的人觉得空气里有情缘的美好自在，而不是荷尔蒙的腥臊味道。

——庆山《恋情》

我们不能等待大自然的恩赐，我们必须向她索取——这就是我们的任务。
