A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
地球
Earth
I have smelt all the aromas there are in the fragrant kitchen they call Earth; and what we can enjoy in this life, I surely have enjoyed just like a lord!

Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; And only he who sees takes off his shoes; The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.
地球塞满了天堂, 每一丛普通的灌木都在与上帝燃烧; 只有看见的人才脱掉鞋子; 其余的人围坐在树旁摘黑莓。
Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.

我们是如此抽象的受害者,地球在燃烧,我们几乎不能唤醒自己漫步穿过房间,看看恒温器。
If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants.

One of the prerogatives by which man is eminently distinguished from all other living beings inhabiting this globe of earth, consists in the gift of reason.

Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.
人生之所以是悲剧,仅仅是因为地球在转动,太阳不可阻挡地升起和落下,总有一天,对我们每个人来说,太阳都将最后一次,最后一次落下。

沿着这个主题,再读几句。
That's how it is on this bitch of an earth.
这就是地球上的情况。
There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.

如果一个人每天有一半的时间是为了爱他们而在树林里散步,那么他就有可能被认为是一个游手好闲的人。但如果他把自己的时间花在投机上,在她之前砍掉那些树木,让地球光秃秃的,他就被认为是一个勤奋进取的公民。
We are not primarily put on this earth to see through one another, but to see one another through.
