1. Sex and the City
《欲望都市》

Being single is getting over the illusion that there is somebody out there to complete you and taking charge of your own life.
以為總有一個(gè)人來讓你的人生完整，來征服你的全部生命，這只是種幻想！只有保持單身，你才能走出這樣的幻覺。

2. Mindy Kaling
敏迪·卡靈

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
女人總是期待著有一個(gè)男人來為她建造一個(gè)她想要的世界，而不是自己創(chuàng)造這樣的世界，真是大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)！

3. Eric Dickerson
迪克森

You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.
你不需要被愛，不需要以喪失你自己為代價(jià)的被愛。一生中唯一最重要、最核心的關(guān)系就是你與自己的關(guān)系。在你一生結(jié)識(shí)的所有人中，只有自己是你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)失去的人。

4. Jason Derulo
杰森·德魯羅

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved.
我非常高興我又恢復(fù)單身了。為了感情我付出了很多時(shí)間，可是雙方越是靠近，感情就越是難以維系。越是深陷其中，越是無法理性判斷。

5. Dido Armstrong
蒂朵

You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.
你很美、很古怪、霸氣側(cè)漏，所以，不是所有人都懂得如何愛你。

6. Voltaire
伏爾泰

We did not come to remain whole.
人生而非為自保完全，

We came to lose our leaves like the trees,
生的意義是失去，如同樹失其葉，

Trees that start again.
再像樹那樣重生。

7. Graham Greene
格雷厄姆·格林

To love blindly is to love selfishly, because the goal of such love is not the real advantage of the beloved but only the exercise of love in our own souls.
盲目的愛是自私的愛，這種愛的最終目的不是為了被愛者更好，而是傾瀉我們自己心中的愛情。

8. Henry David Thoreau
梭羅

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.
我覺得浪漫喜劇是科幻片的一個(gè)分支，這個(gè)虛構(gòu)世界的運(yùn)行規(guī)律與我所熟知的尋常世界是不同的。

9. Mindy Kaling
敏迪·卡靈

Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.
有人認(rèn)為，堅(jiān)持不放手會(huì)使我們更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，可是我認(rèn)為有時(shí)應(yīng)該選擇放棄。

10. Hermann Hesse
赫爾曼·黑塞

I like being single, I'm always there when I need me.
我喜歡保持單身，當(dāng)我需要自己的時(shí)候，我會(huì)陪在自己身邊。
