Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.
人必须停止把他的问题归咎于他所处的环境，而重新学会行使他的意志- -他在信仰和道德领域的个人责任。
In the world of the present, in our time, we feel that suffering, anguish, the torments of body and soul, are greater than ever before in the history of mankind.
在当今世界，在我们这个时代，我们感到人类历史上前所未有的苦难、痛苦、肉体和灵魂的折磨。
The artist's task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. If artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.

I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.

The object of preaching is to constantly remind mankind of what they keep forgetting; not to supply the intellect, but to fortify the feebleness of human resolutions.

在人类所有的激情中，对新奇事物的热爱支配着人们的思想。为了寻找这一点，我们从一个领域漫游到另一个领域。我们的舰队满载着蠢货返航。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

人类不是一个只有一个中心的圆，而是一个有两个焦点的椭圆，其中一个焦点是事实，另一个焦点是思想。
