A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
意见
Opinions
There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against politica.
集体意见对个人独立的合法干涉是有限度的，找到这种限度并保持它不受侵犯，就像保护人们不受政治侵害一样，对人类事务的良好状态也是必不可少的。
Everyone goes to the same exhibitions and the same parties, stays in the same handful of hotels, eats at the same no-star restaurants, and has almost the same opinions. I adore the art world, but this is copycat behavior in a sphere that prides itself on independent thinking.
每个人都参加同样的展览，参加同样的派对，住同样的几家酒店，在同样的无星级餐厅吃饭，并且有着几乎相同的观点。我热爱艺术世界，但这是一个以独立思考为荣的领域里的模仿行为。
It's too hard to present an opinion on something that's not true to who you are. It's much easier to base opinions and debates off of fact and your true heart on things. To me that just comes quite naturally, and it's also about being open to what the debate is about and hearing the other side.
对不真实的自己发表意见太难了。把你的观点和辩论建立在事实的基础上，把你的真心建立在事情的基础上，要容易得多。对我来说，这是很自然的，这也是关于开放的辩论是关于什么和听取对方的意见。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Poor Georgia O'Keeffe. Death didn't soften the opinions of the art world toward her paintings.
可怜的格鲁吉亚奥基夫。死亡并没有软化艺术界对她的绘画的看法。
One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.
一个人应该尊重公众的意见，因为这是必要的，以避免饥饿和远离监狱，但任何超过这是自愿服从不必要的暴政。
The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion.
事实越少，观点就越坚定。
The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
当我们开始害怕别人的意见，不愿说出我们内心的真相，当我们应该说话的时候，出于政策动机的沉默，神圣的光明和生命的洪流不再流入我们的灵魂。
My friends are very opinionated about the people I date.
我的朋友对我约会的人很有意见。
The world will step aside for nearly anyone who has the courage of his of her opinions.
世界将为几乎所有有勇气表达自己观点的人让路。
