A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

人类

Human

Every abstract picture of the world is as impossible as a blueprint of a storm. Don't be ashamed because you're human: be proud! Inside you, vaults behind vaults open endlessly. You will never be finished, and that's as it should be.

每一幅抽象的世界图景都像风暴的蓝图一样不可能。不要因为你是人类而感到羞耻:要自豪!在你的内心,金库后面的金库永远敞开着。你永远不会结束,这是应该的。

If you really want to show power in its larger aspects, you need to show the effects on the powerless, for good or ill - the human cost of public works. That's what I try to do, show not only how power works but its effect on people.

如果你真的想从更大的方面展示权力,你需要展示对无权者的影响,无论是好是坏——公共工程的人力成本。这就是我想做的,不仅展示权力是如何运作的,也展示它对人们的影响。

All forms of tampering with human beings, getting at them, shaping them against their will to your own pattern, all thought control and conditioning is, therefore, a denial of that in men which makes them men and their values ultimate.

所有形式的对人类的干预,接近他们,将他们塑造成违背他们意愿的你自己的模式,所有的思想控制和条件作用,因此,是对使他们成为男人和他们的价值终极的男人的否定。

Classic economic theory, based as it is on an inadequate theory of human motivation, could be revolutionized by accepting the reality of higher human needs, including the impulse to self actualization and the love for the highest values.

经典的经济学理论是建立在一个不充分的人类动机理论的基础上的,它可以通过接受更高的人类需求的现实,包括自我实现的冲动和对最高价值的热爱,来进行革命性的变革。

No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.

没有一个社会能够消除人类的悲伤,没有一个政治制度能够把我们从生活的痛苦、对死亡的恐惧和对绝对的渴望中解救出来。是人的条件决定了社会的条件,而不是社会条件决定人的条件。

KEEP EXPLORING

沿着这个主题,再读几句。

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

和平宣传的方法旨在通过辩论建立和平学说,并在一般情况下创造一种有利于和平的感觉,但这些方法似乎没有达到人类行动的源泉,也没有处理他们试图改变的行为的原因。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT
