他寫過《北京法源寺》、《審判美國》、《紅色11》等100多本書，但其中96本都被列為禁書，創下記錄。

這位備受爭議、但又被無數人追捧的文化明星，昨日因病離世，這個世界又失去了一個有趣的靈魂。

下面我挑選了李敖先生曾說過的10句非常“犀利”的名言，盡顯其“金剛怒目、菩薩低眉”的本性。小編還將這些句子譯成了英文，讓我們一起感受李敖先生的快意人生，也一同緬懷大師曾經給我們帶來的種種思考。

1. 鐵杵能磨成針，但木杵只能磨成牙簽。材料不對，再努力也沒用。

An iron pestle can be ground into a needle while a wooden pestle can only be ground into a toothpick. If the material is wrong, hard work never pays off.

2. 作弱者，多不得好活;作強者，多不得好死。

Weak people mostly cannot live a good life, while strong people mostly cannot die in peace.

3. 別人都罵人都說王八蛋，可我有一個本領，我能證明你是王八蛋。

Others curse only by yelling “son of a bitch”, but what’s special about me is that I can prove you are a son of a bitch.

4. 有時解釋是不必要的：敵人不信你的解釋，朋友無須你的解釋。

Sometimes explanation is point less: your enemies don’t believe it and your friends don’t need it.

5. 世界上最討人厭的一種話就是失敗者的理由。

The most disgusting type of talking is losers’ excuses.

6. 人生第一快樂是做到自己認為自己做不到的事，人生第二快樂是做到別人認為自己做不到的事。

The first happiness in life is to achieve something you think you cannot achieve. The second one is to achieve something others think you cannot achieve.

7. 富蘭克林講了一句話，非常動人，他說：“哪里有自由，哪里就是我的祖國”。這句話被我李敖改寫成“這里是我的國家，我要使它自由”。

Mr. Franklin left us an inspiring quote: where liberty is, there is my country. And I, Li Ao, change it to “This is my country, and I will make it free.”

8. 談戀愛是以自欺始，欺人終;搞政治是以欺人始，以自欺終。

Having a romance starts with deceiving yourself and end up deceiving others, while engaging in politics starts with deceiving others and end up deceiving yourself.

9. 其實，這就是人生，你不能全選全得，你有所取有所不取，有所不取，就該坦然面對有所失，有所失就有所得。

To be honest, this is life. You cannot take all, and there is something you should take and something you shouldn’t. So, we should calmly face all the losses, because losing something means gaining something.

10. 任何人都不配與我一戰，沒有人能戰勝我，因為我不可戰勝。不要與我辯論，你多說一句就多暴露一分愚蠢。

Nobody is qualified to fight against me, and nobody can defeat me, because I am undefeatable. Never ever argue with me, because every single word you say is nothing but a testimony of your stupidity.
