A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
哲学
Philosophy
Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.
我教哲学而不是艺术。虽然技巧对我来说是一个很重要的词，但我从来没有教过如何画画。我所做的一切都是为了让人们看到。
My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual's knowledge about food and wine, and do it on a daily basis.
从第一天起，我的人生哲学就是，如果我能提高一个人对食物和酒的知识，并且每天都能做到，那么我晚上就能睡得更好。
He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.
那天他死了，因为他的身体发挥了作用。他的灵魂完成了它的使命，学会了它的使命，然后就可以自由地离开了。
I think when I was two years old in the sandbox. I think I formulated my basic philosophy there, and I haven't really had to alter it very much ever since.
我记得我两岁的时候在沙箱里。我想我已经在那里阐述了我的基本哲学，从那以后我就没怎么改变过它。
I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.
我认为我们应该始终以某种程度的怀疑来接受我们的意见。我不希望人们武断地相信任何哲学，甚至不相信我的哲学。
To live entirely without a goal! I have glimpsed this state, and have often attained it, without managing to remain there: I am too weak for such happiness.
完全没有目标的生活!我曾瞥见过这种状态，而且常常达到这种状态，却没有设法停留在那里:我太虚弱了，无法获得这样的幸福。
In reality there are no separate events. Life moves along like water, it's all connected to the source of the river is connected to the mouth and the ocean.
在现实中没有单独的事件。生命就像水一样流动，它与河流的源头相连，与河口和海洋相连。
Any fool can see the limits of seeing, but not even the wisest know the limits of knowing. Thus is ignorance rendered invisible, and are all Men made fools.
任何傻瓜都能看到看到的极限，但即使是最聪明的人也不知道知道的极限。这样，无知就看不见了。人都成了愚妄人。
No beauty product is going to give you en surety about charm on your face. Its natural so natural ways can only help. Less tension , more laugh, more water.

Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness - I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.
灵感可能是超意识的一种形式，也可能是潜意识的一种形式——我不知道。但我确信这是自我意识的对立面。
Seeing the glass as half empty is more positive than seeing it as half full. Through such a lens the only choice is to pour more. That is righteous pessimism.
看到半杯水比看到半杯水更积极。透过这样的镜头，唯一的选择就是倒更多。这是正当的悲观主义。
Believe in human beings - not all are good, but deep down all can be. But that doesn't mean you need to hang around crappy people and try to turn them around.
相信人类——不是所有的人都是好人，但在内心深处，所有的人都可以是好人。但这并不意味着你需要和那些差劲的人混在一起，并试图扭转他们的颓势。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
艺术的目的不在于表现事物的外表，而在于表现事物的内在意义。
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
在这个世界上，跟随世俗的意见生活是很容易的;在孤独中，我们很容易活在自己的世界里;但伟大的人是那些在人群中保持绝对甜蜜的孤独的独立性的人。
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
遮蔽我们眼睛的光，就是我们的黑暗。只有我们醒着的那一天才会到来。天还没亮呢。太阳不过是一颗晨星。
