Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing
ever dies.
　　
　　　　希望是美好的，也许是人间至善，而美好的事物永不消逝.
　　
　　　　“some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their
feathers are just too bright...”
　　
　　　　有一种鸟儿是永远也关不住的，因为它的每片羽翼上都沾满了自由的光辉
　　
　　　　That there are things in this world not carved out of gray
stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock
away, and that place is called hope.
　　
　　　　“在这个世界上，有些东西用石头是刻不来的。在我们的心中有块地方是关不
住的，那块地方称为希望。”
　　
        These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get
used to 'em. Enough time passes, it gets so you depend on 'em.

Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you,—and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;—it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,—as we are!”
