A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
本能
Instincts
People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.
依赖于逻辑、哲学和理性阐述的人，最终会饿死头脑中最好的部分。
I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.
我曾经开玩笑说，我是一个点击鼠标的演员。我的整个过程就是相信你的直觉，达到你的目标。
Some of the finest moral intuitions come to quite humble people. The visiting of lofty ideas doesn't depend on formal schooling. Think of those Galilean peasants.
一些最优秀的道德直觉来自于相当谦逊的人。崇高理想的实现并不依赖于正规教育。想想那些加利利人的农民。
To be faithful to your instincts and the impulses that carry you in the direction of the excellence you most desire and value ... surely that is to lead the noble life.
忠实于你的直觉和冲动，让你朝着你最渴望和最珍视的卓越的方向前进……当然是过高贵的生活。
Your initial instincts about investments and people are usually correct. We do a lot of due diligence in this business and most of the time it comes out where we started.
你对投资和人的最初直觉通常是正确的。我们在这个行业做了很多尽职调查，大多数时候都是从头开始的。
I don't think many actors are the best judge of careers. I think generally we have good instincts about what we can do in terms of acting. And often they become directors, which I don't want to be.
我不认为很多演员是事业的最佳评判者。我认为一般来说，我们在表演方面有很好的直觉。他们经常成为导演，而我不想成为。
Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.
偏见可以说是人类的机械本能:通过他们的偏见，他们不费任何力气就做了许多事情，他们会发现很难想清楚，以至于决定去做这些事情。
I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I'm not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I'm certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions.
我想我有一种内在的自信，我的品味很简单，我觉得有趣的东西会吸引很多观众。在我的创作本能中，我并不特别聪明，也不特别关注少数群体。我当然没有意识到要压制更复杂的野心。
