关于爱情，沈从文说：我行过许多地方的桥，看过许多次的云，却只爱过一个正当最好年龄的人。遇到是多么的不容易，所以不管爱与被爱，都要珍惜。徐志摩说：一生至少该有一次，为了某个人而忘了自己，不求有结果，不求同行，不求曾经拥有，甚至不求你爱我。只求在我最美的年华里，遇到你。
曾经的那个人，你也许会偶尔想起，偶尔失眠，偶尔看看窗外，偶尔听听熟悉的歌曲，但也仅仅如此而已。然后瞬间清醒，或哑然失笑，或黯然神伤。
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
在莎莉花园深处，吾爱与我曾经相遇；
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
她穿越莎莉花园，纤足如雪般皎白。
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
她嘱我爱得简单，如枝上萌发的新绿；
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
但我当年年幼无知，不愿接受她的心语。
In a field by the river my love and I did stand;
在河畔旷野，吾爱与我并肩伫立；
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
在我微倾的肩上，她搭起纯白的手臂。
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
她嘱我活得淡然，像青草滋长于岸堤；
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears.
但当年年少无知，如今早已泪满衣裳。
