The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.

  • -- Alan Wilson Watts 艾伦·威尔逊·沃茨

我们贫穷的原因是我们没有想象力。有很多人在积累他们认为是巨大的财富,但那只是钱……他们不知道如何享受它,因为他们没有想象力。
