A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
只有
Only
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
我只能注意到,过去是美好的,因为一个人从来没有意识到当时的情绪。它后来扩展开来,因此我们对现在没有完整的情感,只有对过去的情感。
If we could only snap the fetters of the body that bind the feet of the soul, we shall experience a great joy. Then we shall not be miserable because of the body's sufferings. We shall become free.
如果我们能挣开束缚灵魂之脚的躯体的枷锁,我们将体验到巨大的快乐。这样,我们就不因身体的苦楚受苦了。我们将获得自由。
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.
在我看来,艺术作品是物质世界中唯一具有内在秩序的对象,这就是为什么,虽然我不认为只有艺术才重要,但我相信艺术是为了艺术而艺术。
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
我可以原谅,但我不能忘记,只是另一种说法,我不会原谅。宽恕应该像一张作废的便条——撕成两半,烧掉,这样它就永远不会对一个人显现出来。
It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill- it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy.
的确,许多艺术家都有精神疾病——说得委婉点,这种生活使人成为局外人。当我完全沉浸在工作中时,我就没事了,但我会一直保持半疯状态。
When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.
当我们原谅罪恶时,我们不会原谅它,我们不会容忍它,我们不会扼杀它。我们直面邪恶,不管它是什么,让它的恐怖震撼、震撼、激怒我们,只有这样我们才会原谅它。
It is bad policy to regulate everything... where things may better regulate themselves and can be better promoted by private exertions; but it is no less bad policy to let those things alone which can only be promoted by interfering social power.
监管一切是糟糕的政策……在那里,事情可以更好地自我调节,通过私人努力可以得到更好的促进;但是,不去管那些只能通过干预社会权力来推动的事情,同样是糟糕的政策。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
没有自由,就没有艺术;艺术只活在它强加于自己的约束之下,而死于其他一切的约束之下。
Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.
优雅是唯一永不褪色的美。
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
只有当你慷慨地同意分享你的成功和幸福时,你的成功和幸福才会被原谅。
Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?
为什么社会只对儿童的教育负责,而不对所有年龄层的成年人的教育负责?
Maturity is only a short break in adolescence.
成熟只是青春期的短暂休息。
You only live once so do what you want to do. Don't think you have to listen to what other people say to you.
人生只有一次,所以做你想做的。不要认为你必须听别人对你说什么。
