A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
把好句子，读进生活里。
一句英文，一种视角。慢慢读，总有一句与你共鸣。
I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.
我没有指导我的生活。不是我设计的。我从不做决定。事情总是为我而生。这就是生活。
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.
我属于那些信奉放荡享乐的人，我与年轻人共享午夜的狂欢，我与舞者共舞，与饮酒者共饮。

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

Taking time to sit back and watch and think about what you've seen is important. Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.
花点时间坐下来看看，想一想你所看到的是很重要的。旅行使我受益匪浅。我发现，当我旅行时，只是坐在角落里看，就会有无数的想法涌上心头。
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
一个人不是因为专心而无所事事。有看得见的劳动，也有看不见的劳动。思即苦干，思即行。双臂交叉起作用，双手合十起作用。仰望天堂是一种创造的行为。
