野莓之歌
我已經睜開眼了 撐過甦醒的疼痛 我伸開雙手迎接四方的風 抖落刺骨的操縱 我不是溫室花朵 你也不用假裝溫柔 我學不會你們虛偽的臉孔 只會、真實、面對、自我 |
我們有屬於我們的夢 我們有我們的話想說 在你們背叛自己以後 不要連我們一起出售 我們有屬於我們的夢 我們有我們的話想說 在你丟棄了信念以後 灰燼裡我們選擇出走 安靜不代表認同 和平不代表承受 你的傲慢再一次燙傷了我 這一次我不會沈默 |

TAIWAN
A brief History of Taiwan
A country under construction:
To me, nothing substantial beyond naming can be found in the entire humanity that we'd been trying so hard to sustain; and words, that should be taken as a projection of our mind where the profanity dwells.
Fundamentally, I'm so skeptical of history which does not fit my notion of knowledge in any sense. I insist that a human as the agent of him/herself should have the innate right to claim his/her liberty of any kind; if that causes trouble, let trouble come. This is the most compelling force for me to stand by the Taiwan Independence movement among others. Speaking of politicians, they just confuse me, not less than history, if not more.
I have not been an early riser
Society seems to have invaded and overrun me
I have drank tea & coffee
and made my-self cheap and vulgar
-- H.D. Thoreau --
One can always make a theory, many theories, to account known facts,
occasionally even to predict new ones. The test is aesthetic.
-- George Thomson --
The principal interest is philosophical;
not to confine oneself to what is necessary for (current) practice,
but to see what is possible by way of theoretical analysis.
-- G. Kreisel --
Perspicuity is part of proof.
-- L. Wittgenstein --
Reason is the slow and tortuous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it.
The heart has its own reasons which reason does not know.
-- Blaise Pascal --
It is true that a mathematician, who is not somewhat of a poet, will never be a perfect mathematician.
-- Karl Weierstrass --
