A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
灵感
Inspiration
No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.
没有人能在找到自己的位置之前取得理想的成功。像火车头一样，他在轨道上很强壮，但在其他任何地方都很虚弱。
The writer cannot abandon himself simply to inspiration, and feign innocence vis a vis language, because language is never innocent.
作者不能仅仅沉溺于灵感之中，在语言面前假装无辜，因为语言从来就不是无辜的。
Doubt is a question mark; faith is an exclamation point. The most compelling, believable, realistic stories have included them both.
怀疑是一个问号;信仰是一个感叹号。最扣人心弦、最可信、最真实的故事都包含了这两方面。
Oh, Spring! I want to go out and feel you and get inspiration. My old things seem dead. I want fresh contacts, more vital searching.
哦,春天!我想走出去，感受你，获得灵感。我的旧东西好像死了。我想要新的联系人，更重要的搜索。
The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.
人生的道路是曲折的，没有两个方向是完全相同的。然而，我们的经验来自旅途，而不是目的地。
All characters come from people I know, but after the initial inspiration, I tend to modify the characters so they fit with the story.
所有的角色都来自于我认识的人，但在最初的灵感之后，我倾向于修改角色，使它们与故事相适应。
Love and truth are intimately connected. You cannot have pure love without pure truth and you cannot have pure truth without pure love.
爱与真理紧密相连。没有真爱就没有真爱，没有真爱就没有真爱。
God is not ecstatic about the lack you are experiencing; He is not delightful over your failures, He is not happy about your stagnancy.
神不会因为你所经历的缺乏而狂喜;他不喜欢你的失败，他不喜欢你的停滞不前。
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.
在一个封闭的社会里，每个人都有罪，唯一的罪行就是被抓住。在盗贼横行的世界里，唯一的罪恶就是愚蠢。
Sometimes you can learn, even from a bad experience. By coping you become stronger. The pain does not go away, but it becomes manageable.
有时候你可以学习，即使是从一次糟糕的经历中。通过应对，你会变得更强大。疼痛不会消失，但会变得可控。
It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.
这只是一个阳光灿烂的微笑，付出的代价并不大，但它像晨光一样驱散了黑夜，使这一天值得过下去。
Our job in this life is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it.
我们这辈子的工作不是把自己塑造成我们想象中应该成为的那种理想，而是发现我们已经是什么样的人，并成为那样的人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse.
不管事情有多糟，你总能让事情变得更糟。
Chase your dreams until you catch them...and then dream, catch, and dream again!
追逐你的梦想，直到你抓住它们…然后做梦，接住，再做梦!
