A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
生活
Living
To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have houses, music, paintings - it's all a miracle. I have adopted the technique of living life miracle to miracle.
活着,能看见东西,能走路,有房子,有音乐,有绘画——这一切都是奇迹。我采用了一种不断创造奇迹的生活方式。
To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.
敢于独自生活是最难得的勇气;因为有许多人宁愿在战场上遇到他们最凶恶的敌人,也不愿把自己的心藏在壁橱里。
I have a responsibility to nurture and shepherd my talent and when I'm living the parts of my life not related to that I feel I have the right to be left alone.
我有责任培养和引导我的才能,当我过着与之无关的生活时,我觉得我有权利独处。
People do not care how nobly they live, only how long, despite the fact that it is within everyone's reach to live nobly, but within no one's reach to live long.
人们不在乎活得多高贵,只在乎能活多久,尽管人人都能活得高贵,但没有人能活得长久。
Manifold subsequent experience has led to a truer appreciation and a more moderate estimate of the importance of the dependence of one living being upon another.
后来的种种经历使人们更加真切地认识到一个人对另一个人的依赖的重要性,并对这种依赖作出了更为适度的估计。
Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly often attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
幸福是一种想象的状态,从前常由生者归于死者,现在常由成人归于儿童,儿童归于成人。
We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.
我们家客厅里没有电视,我所有的朋友都觉得我们有点怪。当他们来的时候,我妈妈想和他们聊聊时事。
To live you have to experiment, to have the ability to experiment you have to have confidence, to have confidence you have to be loved, to be loved you have to love.

I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.

It is absolutely imperative that we protect, preserve and pass on this genetic heritage for man and every other living thing in as good a condition as we received it.

It is a very good world to live in, To lend or to spend, or to live in; but to beg or to borrow, or to get a man's own, It is the very worst world that ever was known.
这是一个很好的世界,可以居住,可以借贷,可以消费,可以生活;但是,乞讨,借钱,或者拥有自己的东西,这是我们所知道的最糟糕的世界。
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
我们活在行动中,而不是岁月;在思想中,不是表盘上的数字。我们应该用心跳来计算时间。想得最多的人,感觉最高尚的人,做得最好的人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

只有亲身经历过,你才会知道生活是什么样子。
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
借鉴昨天,活在今天,憧憬明天。重要的是不要停止质疑。
Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather bring about.
许多人设想了从未在现实中出现过或知道存在过的共和国和君主国;因为我们所行的与所当行的相距甚远,那弃绝已经行的,只取应该行的,反倒要成就。
