A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
艺术家
Artist
My dad is a lawyer and my mom is an artist. So growing up was exactly what it sounds like - strict household but a lot of creativity. They are so psyched that I get to make music for a living. My parents rule.
我爸爸是律师，妈妈是艺术家。所以成长听起来就像严格的家庭生活，但也充满了创造力。他们太激动了，我能以做音乐为生。我的父母的规则。
The main reason he wanted to be a recording artist was because it gives you much more freedom in your writing. You only have to please the artist and the artist is you so you can be more daring and experimental.
他想成为一名录音艺术家的主要原因是，这给了你更多的写作自由。你只需要取悦艺术家，而艺术家就是你，这样你就可以更大胆，更有实验精神。
I am convinced it is a mistake to find an artist human outside his work. If you cannot find him human in and through his work, you are better not to know it when you come to formulate an opinion of his public value.
我相信，在他的作品之外寻找一个艺术家是错误的。如果你在他的作品中找不到他的人性，那么当你对他的公众价值发表看法时，最好不要去了解他。
Every time you work, you have to do it all over again, to rid yourself of this dross. I suppose for a person who is not an artist or not attempting art, it is not dross, because it is the common exchange of everyday life.
每次你工作的时候，你都要重新做一遍，把这些糟粕去掉。我想对于一个不是艺术家或者不尝试艺术的人来说，这不是糟粕，因为这是日常生活的共同交流。
The transition state of manners and language cannot be too often insisted upon: for this affected the process at both ends, giving the artist in fictitious life an uncertain model to copy and unstable materials to work in.
行为方式和语言的过渡状态不能经常被坚持，因为这影响了过程的两端，给艺术家在虚拟的生活中一个不确定的模型复制和不稳定的材料在工作。
I think the best thing an artist can do is not hang out with other artists. I really dislike hanging out with musicians, for the most part, except for a few select friends, because I don't like to talk about music all the time.
我认为一个艺术家能做的最好的事情就是不要和其他艺术家在一起。我真的不喜欢和音乐家一起出去玩，除了少数几个精心挑选的朋友，因为我不喜欢一直谈论音乐。
The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.
有一天，这位艺术家从荆棘上的一个洞里掉了下去，从那一刻起，他就沿着一条地下河的黑色急流前进。
An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.

The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
这位有创造力的艺术家似乎是唯一那种你永远不会在中立的立场上遇到的人。你只能以艺术家的身份见到他。他看不到任何客观的东西，因为他的自我总是在每幅画的前景。
To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.
对我来说，武术的非凡之处在于它的简单。简单的方法也是正确的方法，武术没什么特别的;越接近武术的真道，表达的浪费就越少。
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.
