A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事情
Things
It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.
只有真正的军人才能留在音乐行业，依靠摆在我面前的东西生活，并且能够一直生存下去，因为这并不容易。
Actually, most things I say in public lead more or less directly to my own compositional practice, so I should be careful about generalizing lest they come back to haunt me.
事实上，我在公共场合说的大多数话或多或少都会直接导致我自己的写作实践，所以我应该谨慎地进行概括，以免它们再次困扰我。
Basically, there are two things we know: Everybody has less time, and the general public is demanding better food - better in terms of quality and better in terms of flavor.
基本上，我们知道两件事:每个人的时间都变少了，而普通大众要求更好的食物——更好的质量和更好的味道。
I mean, in some cases with libel laws, you know, they can write things about people who have no course of action, because they can't afford to take legal action against them.
我的意思是，在一些诽谤法的案例中，你知道，他们可以写一些关于没有诉讼程序的人的事情，因为他们没有能力对他们采取法律行动。
It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
拥有金钱和金钱能买到的东西是好事，但偶尔检查一下，确保你没有丢失金钱买不到的东西也是好事。
Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a body, so is order to all things.
秩序是头脑的健全，身体的健康，城市的和平，国家的安全。秩序之于万物，犹如房屋之梁，房屋之骨。
It's always something we do well. We always count on our defense more than our offense. It's one of those things that if you get it going early, it's going to be a good night.
我们总是做得很好。我们总是把防守看得比进攻重要。如果你早点开始，这将是一个美好的夜晚。
They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things.
他们是笨蛋，把我的工作称为抽象的。他们所谓抽象的东西是最真实的，因为真实的东西不是外在的，而是理念，是事物的本质。
I used to write sonnets and various things, and moved from there into writing prose, which, incidentally, is a lot more interesting than poetry, including the rhythms of prose.
我曾经写过十四行诗和各种各样的东西，然后从那里开始写散文，顺便说一句，这比诗歌有趣得多，包括散文的节奏。
The less you know, the less there is to worry about. But with knowledge comes respect, curiosity, and excitement. Because you know things are scary. And yet, you're still alive.
你知道的越少，担心的就越少。但是随着知识而来的是尊重、好奇和兴奋。因为你知道事情很可怕。但你还活着。
What I want to bring back to superheroes with this project is a sense of play. Things have gotten so dreary. The heroes have gotten so ugly that even their muscles have muscles.

As a young teenager I looked desperately for things to read that might excuse me or assure me I wasn't the only one, that might confirm an identity I was unhappily piecing together.
作为一个十几岁的少年，我拼命地寻找可以阅读的东西，可能会原谅我或向我保证我不是唯一一个，可能会证实我不快乐地拼凑在一起的身份。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone. From a flower to a flavor to a book or a composition but it is very sad that in our country we actually fight over such things in an unseemly manner.
每个人都有权喜欢或不喜欢任何事或任何人。从一朵花到一种味道到一本书或一篇作文，但在我们的国家，我们实际上以一种不得体的方式为这些事情争吵，这是非常令人难过的。
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
有效的领导是把重要的事情放在首位。有效的管理是纪律，执行纪律。
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
我们还把事情安排得几乎没有人了解科学和技术。这是灾难的处方。我们可能会侥幸逃脱一段时间，但这种无知和权力的可燃混合物迟早会在我们的脸上爆炸。
There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement s, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
尽管有种种障碍、挫折和不可能，但坚韧不拔、锲而不舍和坚持不懈，正是这一点使强者区别于弱者。
