A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
永恒
Timeless
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
死亡不是生命中的一件大事:我们活着不是为了体验死亡。如果我们认为永恒不是指无限的时间,而是永恒,那么永恒的生命属于活在当下的人。
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
在人类所知之外,还有第五维度。它是一个和空间一样广阔,和无限一样永恒的维度。它是光明与黑暗、科学与迷信之间的中间地带。
Quality is timeless: It will clearly define itself. And so I make reference to and acknowledge things that I feel have been dismissed, trying to restate those musical and cultural elements clearly and vehemently.
质量是永恒的:它将清晰地定义自己。所以我提到并承认那些我觉得被忽视的东西,试图清晰而激烈地重申那些音乐和文化元素。
We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation.
我们人类是如此调谐,我们渴望伟大的旋律和伟大的歌词。如果有人写了一首很棒的歌,这是永恒的,作为人类,我们会感受到一些东西,会有一种真正的欣赏。
A building or a town will only be alive to the extent that it is governed in a timeless way. It is a process which brings order out of nothing but ourselves; it cannot be attained, but it will happen of its own accord, if we will only let it.
一座建筑或一座城镇只有在以一种永恒的方式管理时才会存在。这是一个从我们自己身上产生秩序的过程;这是不可能实现的,但它会自动发生,如果我们只让它。
I just think that it's such a good show and timeless and still very funny, and that just makes me happy to have that whole first season in one concentrated space for people to enjoy so that it's not hit and miss trying to find it in syndication always.

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.
最重要的事情往往是最难说出口的。它们是你感到羞耻的东西,因为语言会减少你的感觉——当你脑海中永恒的东西被拿出来的时候,它们只会缩小到活生生的大小。
To seek the timeless way we must first know the quality without a name. There is a central quality which is the root criterion of life and spirit in a man, a town, a building, or a wilderness. This quality is objective and precise, but it cannot be named.
要寻求永恒的道路,我们必须先知道没有名字的品质。在一个人、一座城市、一座建筑或一片荒野中,有一种核心品质是生命和精神的根本准则。这种品质是客观和精确的,但却无法命名。
I was tired and I had overworked myself and burnt myself out. So I went to Egypt by myself. When I saw what was built there, it made me understand how powerful we are, that we can create anything. And I felt like I needed to create things that were timeless too.
我累了,我过度劳累,把自己累垮了。所以我一个人去了埃及。当我看到那里建造了什么,它让我明白我们是多么强大,我们可以创造任何东西。我觉得我也需要创造永恒的东西。
There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.
有一种永恒的建筑方式。它已经有一千年的历史了,今天和过去一样。过去伟大的传统建筑,村庄,帐篷和寺庙,让人有宾至如归的感觉,总是由离这条路很近的人建造的。
