A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
孤独
Solitude
Solitude is strength to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.
独处是一种力量，依赖于人群的存在是一种软弱。一个需要一群暴徒给他鼓劲的人比他想象的要孤独得多。
Life, misfortunes, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are battlefields which have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious heroes.
生活、不幸、孤独、遗弃、贫穷，都是有英雄的战场;无名英雄，有时比显赫的英雄更伟大。
I love people. I love my family, my children . . . but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up.
我爱的人。我爱我的家庭，我的孩子……但在我的内心深处是一个我独自生活的地方，在那里你可以重新注入永不干涸的泉水。
Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.
孤独不是你将来必须希望的东西。相反，它是对当下的深化，除非你在当下寻找它，否则你永远不会找到它。
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
如果一个人跟不上他的同伴，也许是因为他听到了不同的鼓声。让他随着他所听到的音乐迈步前进，不管他是多么的有分寸，多么的遥远。
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.
孤独在我们心中孕育着原始，孕育着陌生而危险的美——孕育着诗歌。但它也产生了相反的东西:反常的、非法的、荒谬的东西。
Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone.
孤独，虽然像光一样沉默，却像光一样，是最强大的中介;因为独处对人是必不可少的。所有的人都是独自来到这个世界上，然后离开它。
The whole value of solitude depends upon one's self; it may be a sanctuary or a prison, a haven of repose or a place of punishment, a heaven or a hell, as we ourselves make it.
孤独的全部价值取决于一个人的自我;它可能是避难所，也可能是监狱，也可能是休息的天堂，也可能是惩罚的地方，也可能是天堂，也可能是地狱，就像我们自己创造的那样。
Respect the child. Wait and see the new product of Nature. Nature loves analogies, but not repetitions. Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.
尊重孩子。等着瞧大自然的新产品吧。大自然喜欢类比，但不喜欢重复。尊重孩子。不要太像他的父母。不要打扰他的孤独。
The night is my companion...solitude my guide....and I would be the one to hold you down, kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away...my body aches to breathe your breath, your words keep me alive.
黑夜是我的伴侣……孤独我的向导....我会是那个抱着你的人，那么用力地吻你，我会让你无法呼吸……我的身体渴望呼吸你的气息，你的话让我活了下来。
Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.
那些不害怕孤独，不害怕有自己的同伴，不总是拼命地找事情做，找乐子，找判断的人是有福的。
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.
写作是一项孤独的职业。家庭、朋友和社会是作家的天敌。如果他想要维持并完成一项事业，他必须是一个人，不受打扰，有点野蛮。

When they are alone they want to be with others, and when they are with others they want to be alone. After all, human beings are like that.
