A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
存在
Existence
And the sad truth is that nobody wants me to write comedy. The Exorcist not only ended that career, it expunged all memory of its existence.
可悲的是,没人想让我写喜剧。驱魔师不仅结束了他的职业生涯,还抹去了他存在的所有记忆。
Dear and most respected bookcase! I welcome your existence, which has for centuries been devoted to the radiant ideals of goodness and justice.
亲爱的、最受尊敬的书柜!我欢迎你们的存在,几个世纪以来,你们一直致力于美好和正义的光辉理想。
The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
人类存在的基本事实不是悲剧,而是无聊。与其说这是一场战争,不如说这是一场无休止的排队等待。
For I never have seen, and never shall see, that the cessation of the evidence of existence is necessarily evidence of the cessation of existence.
因为我从来没有,也永远不会看到,存在的证据的停止必然是存在的停止的证据。
The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we hold of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.
存在的目的就是要调和我们对自己的强烈看法和别人对我们的可怕看法。
You seem to think that the only genuine existence evil can have is conscious existence - that no one is evil unless he admits it to himself. I disagree.
你似乎认为,邪恶能拥有的唯一真正存在是有意识的存在——没有人是邪恶的,除非他自己承认它。我不同意。
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
生存的全部秘密就是无所畏惧。不要害怕你会变成什么样子,不要依靠任何人。只有当你拒绝所有的帮助时,你才会获得自由。
Meditation is a surrender. It is not a demand. It is not forcing existence your way. It is relaxing into the way existence wants you to be. It is a let-go.
冥想是一种降服。这不是需求。它不是强迫你以你的方式存在。它是放松进入存在想要你成为的样子。这是一个放手。
If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear.
如果人把自己局限于一种满足的动物的存在,而只从生活中问这种存在能给予什么,那么更高的生活价值就会立刻消失。
The existence of God is not subjective. He either exists or he doesn't. It's not a matter of opinion. You can have your own opinions. But you can't have your own facts.
上帝的存在不是主观的。他要么存在,要么不存在。这不是意见的问题。你可以有自己的观点。但你不能有自己的事实。
My life at home is super simple. My local bar with my mates, cooking for my mother, making tables, planting vegetables: It's the classic idea of the artistic existence.
我在家里的生活超级简单。我和我的朋友在当地的酒吧,为我的母亲做饭,做桌子,种蔬菜:这是艺术存在的经典理念。
But when I was twelve years old I caught my first strong glimpse of one of the fundamental forces of existence, whose votary I was destined to be for life - namely, Beauty.
但当我十二岁的时候,我第一次强烈地看到了存在的基本力量之一,它是我注定要终生追随的——那就是美。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The individual who has to justify his existence by his own efforts is in eternal bondage to himself.
一个人如果要用自己的努力来证明自己的存在是正确的,那么他就永远是自己的奴隶。
Morality and values depend on the existence of conscious minds - and specifically on the fact that such minds can experience various forms of well-being and suffering in this universe.
道德和价值观取决于有意识的头脑的存在,特别是取决于这样的头脑能够在这个宇宙中体验各种形式的幸福和痛苦。
There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
只有玫瑰;它存在的每一刻都是完美的。
Normally, what I do for fun is just nothing. I try to just relax. Normally, it involves just relaxing and reading and maybe going out and meeting up with a friend. I live a very simple existence. I would much rather just sit around and listen to a couple of records and read the paper.
正常情况下,我只是为了好玩,什么也不做。我试着放松。通常,这包括放松,阅读,也许出去和朋友见面。我过着非常简单的生活。我宁愿坐在那里听几张唱片,读报纸。
Because I was the first super-elite, the press caught on and started calling me a supermodel. So in that sense, I guess I'm the first. But, in my opinion, there were girls that could have been called supermodels before that, if the term was in existence.
因为我是第一个超级精英,媒体开始把我称为超级模特。所以从这个意义上说,我想我是第一个。但是,在我看来,有些女孩在那之前就可以被称为超级模特,如果这个词存在的话。
I know that I have lived because I have felt, and, feeling giving me the knowledge of my existence, I know likewise that I shall exist no more when I shall have ceased to feel.
我知道我活着是因为我有感觉,而感觉使我知道我的存在,我也知道当我停止感觉时,我将不复存在。
