林語堂文學獎中有一些妙語

29."I have often thought of formulas by which the mechanism of human progress and historical change can be expressed. They seem to be as follows:
Reality – Dreams =Animal Being
Reality + Dreams =A Heart-ache (usually called idealism)
Reality + Humour =Realism (also called Conservatism)
Dreams – Humour = Fanaticism
Dreams + Humour = Fantasy
Reality + Dreams + Humour = Wisdom
So then, or the highest type of thinking, consists in toning down our dreams or idealism with a good sense of humour, supported by reality itself."

"我常思索可以陳述人類進步與歷史演變過程的公式，它們看來就是這樣：

現實－夢想＝動物
現實＋夢想＝心痛（通常稱為理想主義）
現實＋幽默＝務實精神（通常稱為保守主義）
夢想－幽默＝狂熱
夢想＋幽默＝幻想
現實＋夢想＋幽默＝智慧
因此，最高明的思想，可能就是以切合實際的一流幽默感，調和我們的夢想或理想主義。"
