A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Human
But you know you haven't done it all because you know everything keeps evolving and changing; and you know you can evolve with it if you grow and develop as a human being.
但你知道你还没有完成所有的事情,因为你知道每件事都在不断发展和变化;你知道,如果你作为一个人成长和发展,你就能随之进化。
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined - to strengthen each other - to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
对于两个人的灵魂来说,有什么比在无言的、无法言说的回忆中感到他们是连在一起的——彼此加强——彼此在一起更伟大的事情呢?
So as a prelude whites must be made to realise that they are only human, not superior. Same with Blacks. They must be made to realise that they are also human, not inferior.
因此,作为一个前奏,白人必须意识到,他们只是人类,并非优越。和黑人一样。他们必须认识到,他们也是人,而不是下等人。
You never really meet a human being until you live with them or know them for awhile, so this is my clown and they understand that and so these interviews don't bother them.
你永远不会真正遇到一个人,除非你和他们住在一起,或者认识他们一段时间,所以这是我的小丑,他们明白这一点,所以这些采访不会打扰他们。
Butterflies don't know the color of their wings, but human eyes know how beautiful it is. Likewise, you don't know how good you are, but others can see that you are special.

I think it's a very firm part of human nature that if you surround yourself with like-minded people, you'll end up thinking more extreme versions of what you thought before.
我认为这是人性中非常坚定的一部分,如果你和志同道合的人在一起,你最终会对你以前的想法有更极端的看法。
War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.

The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature, but result from the social process which creates man.
人类最美丽和最丑陋的倾向,都不是固定的生物学赋予的人性的一部分,而是创造人类的社会过程的结果。
A healthy human environment is one in which we try to make sense of our limits, of the accidents that can always befall us and the passage of time which inexorably changes us.
健康的人类环境是这样一种环境,在这种环境中,我们试图理解我们的极限,理解总是会降临在我们身上的意外事件,理解无情地改变我们的时间的流逝。
People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives, and more romantic, and not necessarily of their own experiences.

When I talk of the purpose of life, I am thinking not only of human life, but of all life on Earth and of the life which must exist upon other planets throughout the universe.
当我谈到生命的目的时,我不仅想到了人类的生命,而且想到了地球上所有的生命以及宇宙中其他行星上必须存在的生命。
The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.
人体有两个末端:一个用来创造,另一个用来坐着。有时人们会适得其反。当这种情况发生时,他们需要从裤子的座位上踢一下。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.

Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.
