餘光中說:
假如你想找一名古人去旅行,一定不要找李白,他太過於狂傲,不知天高地厚; 也不要找杜甫,他的命太苦,對生活沒有信心; 要找就找蘇東坡,他是一個懂得讓自己的生活變得有趣的人。
If you want to find an ancient person to travel together, you must not look for Li Bai, he is a little too arrogant; also do not look for Du Fu, his life is too hard, he has no confidence in life; Su Dong-po is a good candidate, who makes life interesting.
