A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
A lot of people write books not at the end of their career. Why you gotta wait until then? When you're momentum's going, that's when people really want to get to know about you.
很多人不是在事业的尽头才写书的。你为什么要等到那时候?当你有动力时，人们才会真正想要了解你。
The United Nations did a study just over two years ago, and that blew my mind. I started thinking that if people are vegetarian for one day a week, that makes a huge difference!
联合国在两年前做了一项研究，这让我大吃一惊。我开始想，如果人们每周有一天吃素，情况就会大不一样!
Starbucks is my main fix and it's usually you people working in there - sometimes they're actually shaking. It just makes me feel horrendous because I've been in that situation.
星巴克是我的主要解决方案，通常是你们在那里工作——有时他们真的在发抖。这让我觉得很可怕，因为我也经历过这种情况。
My father was a very unhappy person, very sarcastic, and my mother was very nervous and worried about what people thought. They weren't monsters, but it wasn't a good childhood.
我的父亲是一个非常不快乐的人，非常爱挖苦人，我的母亲非常紧张，担心别人的想法。他们不是怪物，但那不是一个美好的童年。
It's very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.

Most people don't have the money to spend on advertising to create awareness among readers, nor do they have the contacts at newspapers or magazines to get their books reviewed.

Mine has been a concern for the people, a concern to maintain stability, a concern to get people working together racially, ethnically, rich and poor - all segments of the city.

People sometimes think we're a bunch of wacky thrill seekers, ... And no one who has listened to the words you've spoken or the tone of your voice could possibly think that now.

You watched these people go through their lives and just had a feeling that they existed outside the usual laws of nature; that there was no other group so handsome, so engaged.
你看着这些人度过他们的一生，就有一种感觉，他们存在于通常的自然规律之外;没有比他们更帅、更投入的了。
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.
很多人跑步是为了看谁跑得最快。我跑去看谁的胆子最大，谁能把惩罚自己变成累人的步伐，然后在最后，惩罚自己更多。
I think it's really important that the people who are going to make decisions for other people have fair, truthful and compassionate regard for all people, not just some people.
我认为真正重要的是，那些为别人做决定的人要对所有人都有公正、诚实和同情心，而不仅仅是某些人。
The idea is to bring art to people who might never really interact with it. It's for all citizens, and it's about making the city more interesting and more visually significant.
这个想法是要把艺术带给那些可能从未真正接触过它的人。它是为所有公民服务的，是为了让这座城市变得更有趣，更具视觉意义。

Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
死亡过去常常在生命的壮年宣布它自己，但现在人们拖得太久了，有时我们似乎到了不得不宣布死亡的时候。就好像一个人死的时候需要一种特殊的力量，而不是最终的弱点。
Speaking generally, people who are drawn to journalism are interested in what happens from the ground up less than they are from the top down.

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily.
