A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
哲学
Philosophy
Misunderstanding is my cornerstone. It's everyone's, come to think of it. Illusions mistaken for truth are the pavement under our feet.
误解是我的基石。这是每个人的，我想起来了。把幻想错当成真理的是我们脚下的路。
The stronger a culture, the less it fears the radical fringe. The more paranoid and precarious a culture, the less tolerance it offers.

When you feel small in a God made world, it's called realization and when you feel small in a man made world, it's called exploitation.

I find my data first in myself, not first in the poets. For if I did not find it in myself, I would not be able to find it in the poets.

Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'
有时我躺在床上夜不能寐，问自己:‘我哪里做错了?然后一个声音对我说，“这将需要不止一个晚上。”
