A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
观察
Observation
Even when one is doing well, one still worries that things might go badly again in the future. This is an old observation based on human experience.
即使一个人做得很好，他仍然担心将来事情可能会再次变得糟糕。这是一个基于人类经验的古老观察。
I think most people see drawing as subservient to the subject, a sort of meditation, a studying, a searching observation, in my case, for its own sake.
我认为大多数人认为绘画是服从于主题的，一种沉思，一种研究，一种探索的观察，就我而言，是为了绘画本身。
When liberty is mentioned, we must always be careful to observe whether it is not really the assertion of private interests which is thereby designated.

The observation of others is coloured by our inability to observe ourselves impartially. We can never be impartial about anything until we can be impartial about our own organism.

How pathetically scanty my self-knowledge is compared with, say, my knowledge of my room. There is no such thing as observation of the inner world, as there is of the outer world.
与我对自己房间的了解相比，我的自知之明是多么可怜地贫乏。没有像观察外部世界那样观察内部世界的事情。
Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.

It's a great mistake, I think, to put children off with falsehoods and nonsense, when their growing powers of observation and discrimination excite in them a desire to know about things.

My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty... it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.
我的观察是，只要有一个人被发现能胜任某项工作，……两个人做的效果更差，如果三个或更多的人同时做的话，效果就更差了。
A true critic ought to dwell upon excellencies rather than imperfections, to discover the concealed beauties of a writer, and communicate to the world such things as are worth their observation.
一个真正的评论家应该专注于优点而不是缺点，去发现一个作家隐藏的美，并向世界传达那些值得他们观察的东西。
The theory that can absorb the greatest number of facts, and persist in doing so, generation after generation, through all changes of opinion and detail, is the one that must rule all observation.
能够吸收最多的事实，并坚持这样做，一代又一代，通过所有的意见和细节的变化，是一个理论，必须统治所有的观察。
