“所以我时常害怕,愿中国青年都摆脱冷气,只是向上走,不必听自暴自弃者流的话。能做事的做事,能发声的发声。有一分热,发一分光,就令萤火一般,也可以在黑暗里发一点光,不必等候炬火。此后如竟没有炬火:我便是唯一的光。倘若有了炬火,出了太阳,我们自然心悦诚服的消失。不但毫无不平,而且还要随喜赞美这炬火或太阳;因为他照了人类,连我都在内。”

——鲁迅

“我们又是热心的体育家,在寒假中,我们在田野里,山上山下,沿着城墙,跨越溪流地行走。天雨时我们就脱去衣服,名之为“雨淋浴”。阳光灼烁时,我也剥去衣服,名之为“日光浴”。春风和暖时,我们又算是一种新运动,叫“浴风”。在已经结霜的天气,我们还露宿田陌间,或是十一月,我们还在寒溪中游泳。凡此种种,都算是“体格训练”。”

“我的职位如此之低,以致人们都不屑和我来往。我的工作之一就是登记来馆读报的人名,不过这般人大半都不把我放在眼里。在这许多人名之中,我认得有几个是新文化运动著名的领袖,是我十分景仰的人。我很想和他们讨论关于政治和文化的事情,不过他们都是极忙的人,没有时间来倾听一个南边口音的图书馆佐理员所讲的话。  但是,我并不因此而丧气,我仍然参加哲学研究会和新闻学研究会,想藉此能听大学里的课程。”

——毛泽东

But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal?
And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain?
Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic?
Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the Moon.
We choose to go to the Moon…We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things,
not because they are easy, but because they are hard;
because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills,
because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept,
one we are unwilling to postpone,
and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

——John F. Kennedy
