A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

事情

Things

You got to fight for quality art and equality and all the things that we're fighting for, the things we believe in. Choice and preference and all those things that we support. We don't want to give up that fight. You got to keep doing it.

你必须为高质量的艺术和平等而战,为我们所追求的一切而战,为我们所信仰的一切而战。选择,偏好和所有我们支持的东西。我们不想放弃这场战斗。你必须坚持下去。

The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.

神的智慧赐给我们祷告,不是要我们得到地上美好的事物,而是要我们学会不需要它们而去做;不是作为我们逃避罪恶的手段,而是作为我们变得强大以面对罪恶的手段。

The advice would be the same for any kind of fiction. Keep writing, and keep sending things out, not to friends and relatives, but to people who have the power to buy. A lot of additional, useful tips could be added, but this is fundamental.

对于任何类型的小说,这个建议都是一样的。继续写信,继续寄东西,不是寄给朋友和亲戚,而是寄给那些有能力买东西的人。可以添加许多额外的、有用的技巧,但这是基本的。

If it is the mark of the artist to love art before everything, to renounce everything for its sake, to think all the sweet human things of life well lost if only he may attain something, do some good, great work - then I was never an artist.

如果这是艺术家的标志,爱艺术先于一切,放弃一切,为艺术而放弃一切,认为只要他能得到一些东西,做一些好事,伟大的工作,生活中所有美好的东西就会失去,那么我从来就不是一个艺术家。

White... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

怀特(姓氏)不仅仅是缺乏色彩;它是一种闪光的、肯定的东西,像红色一样凶猛,像黑色一样明确……上帝用多种颜色作画;但他从来没有画得这么华丽过,我差点说得这么华丽,当他画白色。

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

勇敢地去做伟大的事情,去赢得光荣的胜利,即使会受到失败的挫折……而不是与那些既不享受也不太受苦的可怜的人为伍,因为他们生活在一个既不知道胜利也不知道失败的灰暗的黎明里。

But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.

但是当我画一幅画的时候,我会从一幅画开始画,但是我会在画中加入一些我非常确定我想要的东西,然后用印刷的点或彩纸在画上拼贴,在我真正投入之前。
