Matters
The belief in some being who can be the judge of all human matters is a very comfortable one - all wrongs will be righted and all rights will be rewarded.
相信某些人能够对所有的人类事务作出判断,这是一种非常舒服的信念——所有的错误都会得到纠正,所有的权利都会得到回报。
Give the children an opportunity to make garden. Let them grow what they will. It matters less that they grow good plants than that they try for themselves.

There are matters in the Bible, said to be done by the express commandment of God, that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.

Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.

We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
我们对自己隐瞒是徒劳的——我们必须永远爱一些东西。在那些似乎与爱无关的事情中,那种感觉是可以偷偷地找到的,没有它,人不可能有片刻的生命。
