A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
思想
Minds
Kerouac was the cowboy that inspired the whole Beat Generation, and highlighted and put the spotlight on all of these minds that didn't really know what they were doing at the time, but accomplished something much bigger than what they ever foresaw.
凯鲁亚克是一位牛仔，他激励了整个垮掉的一代，让所有那些当时并不知道自己在做什么的人成为关注的焦点，并取得了比他们预想的更大的成就。
What I'm making music for now is more similar to what I was doing in the beginning. In those days it was all about doing music so when people heard it in a club it would take their minds of their worries. I got more artistic but now I've gone back to basics.
我现在做的音乐和我一开始做的很相似。在那些日子里，音乐就是一切，所以当人们在俱乐部里听到音乐时，他们就会把烦恼抛诸脑后。我变得更有艺术感了，但现在我又回到了基础。
The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable, reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past.
未来太过有趣和危险，不能委托给任何可预测、可靠的机构。我们需要尽可能多的犯错。最重要的是，我们需要保持我们相互联系的思想的绝对不可预测性和完全不可能性。这样我们就可以像过去一样，保留所有的选择。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.
我最大的信仰是相信血肉之躯比智慧更有智慧。我们的思想可能会出错。但是我们的血液所感觉到的、相信的和所说的，总是真实的。智力只不过是一根缰绳。
There is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.
没有什么比那些为那些善于解释的人作辩解的人所受到的蔑视更深刻，或总的说来更有道理的了。阐述、批评、欣赏，都是二流人才做的事。
Whilst shame keeps its watch, virtue is not wholly extinguished in the heart; nor will moderation be utterly exiled from the minds of tyrants.
当羞耻心还在的时候，美德还没有完全在心中熄灭;温和也不会从暴君的头脑中完全消失。
People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.
人只要下定决心，就会感到幸福。
There is no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: Defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must.
没有思想的碰撞，没有理解这样的恐惧。只有一个选择:要么打败它，要么被它打败。我们必须战胜它。
