1.The Catcher in the Rye
some excerpt
(p.188)
"The mark of the immature man is that he wants to
die nobly for a cause,
一個不成熟男子的標記,是他願意為某種原因英勇的死去
while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one."
一個成熟男子的標記,是他願意為某種原因謙卑的活著
(Wilhelm Stekel, Chap. 24)

(p.8) Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.
(p.9) I get bored sometimes when people tell me to act my age.

4. Samuel Ullman
Samuel Ullman (April 13, 1840 – March 21, 1924) was an American businessman, poet, humanitarian. He is best known today for his poem Youth which was a favorite of GeneralDouglas MacArthur. The poem was on the wall of his office in Tokyo when he became Supreme Allied Commander in Japan. In addition, he often quoted from the poem in his speeches, leading to it becoming better known in Japan than in the United States.
*Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind.
(It is the freshness of the deep springs in life→為有源頭活水來)

5.James Madison
James Madison, Jr. (March 16, 1751 – June 28, 1836) was an American statesman, political theorist and the fourth President of the United States (1809–1817). He is hailed as the "Father of the Constitution" for being instrumental in the drafting of the United States Constitution and as the key champion and author of the United States Bill of Rights.[2] He served as a politician much of his adult life.
*After the constitution had been drafted, Madison became one of the leaders in the movement to ratify it. His collaboration withAlexander Hamilton and John Jay produced the Federalist Papers (1788).
*some excerpt
“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both”
― James Madison
