宋‧蘇軾《和子由澠池懷舊》詩
人生到處知何似，應似飛鴻踏雪泥。
泥上偶然留指爪，鴻飛那復計東西。
老僧已死成新塔，壞壁無由見舊題。
往日崎嶇還記否，路上人困蹇驢嘶。
《念奴嬌‧赤壁懷古》詞
大江東去，浪淘盡、千古風流人物。
故壘西邊，人道是、三國周郎赤壁。
亂石崩雲，驚濤裂岸，捲起千堆雪。
江山如畫，一時多少豪傑。
遙想公瑾當年，小喬初嫁了，雄姿英發。
羽扇綸巾，談笑間、檣櫓灰飛煙滅。
故國神遊，多情應笑我，早生華髮。
人生如夢，一尊還酹江月。

夏洛克‧福爾摩斯誕生
《最後致意，夏洛克·福爾摩斯的收場白》
華生老兄！你真是多變的時代里固定不變的時刻。會刮東風的。這種風在英國還從來沒有刮過。這股風會很冷，很厲害，華生。這陣風刮來，我們好多人可能就會凋謝。但這依然是上帝的風。風暴過去後，更加純潔、更加美好、更加強大的國土將屹立在陽光之下。
《希臘譯員》
我不同意有些人把謙虛列為美德。對邏輯學家來說，一切事物應當是什麼樣就是什麼樣，對自己估價過低和誇大自己的才能一樣都是違背真理的。
歇洛克‧福爾摩斯 Sherlock Holmes 是一位由英國偵探小說家亞瑟‧柯南‧道爾 Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle 筆下所塑造的一位才華洋溢的天才偵探。福爾摩斯自稱自己是一名『諮詢偵探』，也就是說當私人 或官方偵探遇到案件困難時常會向他求教。小說裡的故事顯示他常常能夠足不出戶就立馬解決許多疑問難題，善於通過觀察、演繹、溯因推理以及犯罪科學來追根究底。據《血字研究》中華生醫生描述福爾摩斯的能力如下：
‧文學 ── 無
‧哲學 ── 無
‧天文學 ── 無
‧政治 ── 些許
‧植物學 ── 多種多樣。顛茄 、鴉片、毒藥等等。不知道實用園藝。
‧地理 ── 應用型，但不足。能一眼辨別土質。走路後，展示給我褲子上的泥土，告訴我倫敦地質的顏色和成分。
‧化學 ── 很多
‧解剖學 ── 精準，但不系統
‧奇情文學 ── 精通。他似乎知道各個世紀的每一個可怕的細節。
‧小提琴拉得好
‧劍術、拳擊的高手
‧對英國法典有實用知識
一九九九年底，傑勒德‧比克曼斯 Gerard Beekmans 啟始了『 Linux From Scratch 』雪泥鴻爪造 Linux 計畫，在『 NewsForge 』── Linux and love; the Gerard Beekmans story ──的專訪上，這麼說︰
Gerard Beekmans started Linux From Scratch, his guide to building a Linux Operating System from the bottom up, for two reasons. First, because he didn’t like the way existing distributions dictated organization and ultimately had more control over his operating system than he did. Second, because he had just moved from Holland to Toronto, Canada, to marry the woman he fell in love with online. His working papers hadn’t come through yet so he had some extra time on his hands.
網頁歡迎詞上寫到︰
Welcome to Linux From Scratch!
Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code.
Currently, the Linux From Scratch organization consists of the following subprojects:
LFS :: Linux From Scratch is the main book, the base from which all other projects are derived.
BLFS :: Beyond Linux From Scratch helps you extend your finished LFS installation into a more customized and usable system.
ALFS :: Automated Linux From Scratch provides tools for automating and managing LFS and BLFS builds.
CLFS :: Cross Linux From Scratch provides the means to cross-compile an LFS system on many types of systems.
HLFS :: Hardened Linux From Scratch focuses on building an LFS system with heightened security.
Hints :: The Hints project is a collection of documents that explain how to enhance your LFS system in ways that are not included in the LFS or BLFS books.
LiveCD :: The LiveCD project provides a CD that is useful as an LFS build host or as a general rescue CD.
Patches :: The Patches project serves as a central repository for all patches useful to an LFS user.
現今也有人展開了『 Welcome to PiLFS! ── Linux From Scratch on the Raspberry Pi ── 』想法！！新的一年已經來到，是否接受邀請，踏上 一條人跡罕至的道路？？
