Holy Bible
《新约》一开场的四卷福音书讲述了耶稣的生平，尤其着重他在世最后三年，一边传讲上帝之道，一边行神迹奇事，一边打破各种僵化传统，一边济弱扶贫的言行踪迹。耶稣因为得罪当时的权贵，最后被顶死在十字架上，但是他的门徒记载他在三日后复活。
除了四卷福音书，《新约》其余的部分是使徒保罗、彼得、约翰等人所写的书信并传教行踪的记载。

Salvation
In Abrahamic religions and theology, salvation is the saving of the soul from sin and its consequences. It may also be called deliverance or redemption from sin and its effects. Depending on the religion or even denomination, salvation is considered to be caused either only by the grace of God (i.e. unmerited and unearned), or by faith, good deeds (works), or a combination thereof. Religions often emphasize that man is a sinner by nature and that the penalty of sin is death (physical death, spiritual death: spiritual separation from God and eternal punishment in hell).
Advent

Talmud
The Talmud is a record of the rabbinic debates in the 2nd-5th century on the teachings of the Torah, both trying to understand how they apply and seeking answers for the situations they themselves were encountering.
The Torah and Talmud together form the background of Judaism today, with the Biblical commands often being re-interpreted in the light of the Talmudic debates (eg ‘an eye for an eye’ does not mean literal physical retribution but financial compensation for the pain, public embarrassment, time off work, medical fees etc).

Quran
The Quran, the central religious text of Islam, contains references to more than fifty people and events also found in the Bible. While the stories told in each book are generally comparable, there are also some notable differences. Knowing that versions written in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament does predate the Quran, Christians reason the Quran as being derived directly or indirectly from the earlier materials. Muslims understand the Quran to be direct knowledge from an omnipotent God. As such, some Muslims believe that the earlier versions are distorted through flawed processes of transmission and interpretation over time, and consider the Quran’s version to be more accurate.
Often, stories related in the Quran tend to concentrate on the moral or spiritual significance of events rather than the details. Biblical stories come from diverse sources and authors, so their attention to detail varies individually.
《古兰经》的内容与犹太教《旧约》及基督教《新约》经典记载的主要故事有相同之处，但有些只是概括论述，有些则加以引申详述，有时会提供额外的资料及对事件加以评价和解释。与前两者不同，《古兰经》把自身定位为一部指导性的典籍，因此很少详尽地记载神谕的具体指示、还有相关的历史事件，经常强调事件当中的价值观，而不是本身的故事性。《古兰经》及圣训都是制订伊斯兰教法的依据。在礼拜期间只能以阿拉伯语诵读古兰经。

ALISSA’S JOURNAL
I used to like learning the piano, because it seemed to me that I was able to make some progress in it every day. That too, perhaps, is the secret of the pleasure I take reading a book in a foreign language; not, indeed, that I prefer any other language whatever to our own, or that the writers I admire in it appear to me in any way inferior to those of other countries — but the slight difficulty that lies in the pursuit of their meaning and feeling, the uncouscious pride of overcoming this difficulty, and of overcoming it more and more successfully, adds to my intellectual pleasure a certain spiritual contentment, which it seems to me I cannot do without.
However blessed it might be, I cannot desire a state without progress. I imagine heavenly joy, not as a confounding of the spirit with God, but as an infinite, a perpetual drawing near to Him… and if I were not afraid of playing upon words I should say that I did not care for any joy that was not progressive.

This morning we were sitting on the bench in the avenue; we were not talking, and did not feel any need to talk… Suddenly he asked me if I believed in a future life.
“Oh! Jérôme!” I cried at once, “it is more than hope I have; it is certainty.”
And it seemed to me, on a sudden, that my whole faith had, as it were, been poured into the exclamation.
“I should like to know,” he added. He stopped a few moments; then: “Would you act differently without your faith?”
“How can I tell?” I answered; and I added: “And you, my dear, you yourself, and in spite of yourself, can no longer act otherwise than as if you were inspired by the liveliest faith And I should not love you if you were different.”
No, Jérôme, no, it is not after a future recompense that our virtue is striving; it is not for recompense that our love is seeking. A generous soul is hurt by the idea of being rewarded for its efforts; nor does it consider virtue an adornmen: no, virtue is the form of its beauty.

Her barmaid’s imagination supplying her with lies in plenty.
BOOK TWO CHAPTER 2: Entry into society
Ridiculous and touching memory: the salon where one made one’s first appearance at eighteen, alone and without patronage! A woman’s glance was enough to intimidate me. The harder I tried to please, the more awkward I became. I got quite the wrong ideas about everything; either I was confiding with no justification; or I saw a man as an enemy because he had looked at me gravely. But at that time, in the midst of the terrible misfourtunes caused by my shyness, how really fine a fine day was!
Juline stood dumbfounded in the middle of the courtyard.
“Do try to look as if you had your wits about you,” said Father Pirard; “you have these horrible ideas, and then you act just like a child! What’s happened to Horace’s nil mirari?” (Never show any enthusiasm.) Just think that this tribe of lackeys, on seeing you established here, will try to make fun of you; they will see in you an equal who has been unjustly put above them. Beneath outward appearances of good nature, kind advice, and a desire to guide you, they will try to get you to put your foot in it in a big way.”
BOOK TWO CHAPTER 8: What decoration distinguishes a man?
Associated with high birth and a great deal of wealth, genius isn’t a mark of ridicule, and in that case what a distinction!
BOOK TWO Chapter 14: A young lady’s thoughts
She couldn’t abide lack of character, it was her only objection to the handsome young men who surround her. The more they graciously mocked everything from fashion, or which fails to follow it properly while thinking it does so, the more they damned themselves in her eyes.
BOOK TWO Chapter 19: The Opera Bouffe
She would look at Julien and find delightful charm in his most trivial actions.
“Punish me for my appalling pride,” she said to him, hugging him in her arms till he could hardly breathe. “You’re my master, I’m your slave, I must ask your pardon on my knees for having tried to rebel.” She slipped out of his arms to fall at his feet. “Yes, you’re my master,” she said to him, still intoxicated with happiness and love. “Reign over me for ever, punish your slave severely when she tries to rebel.”
