A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
追求
Pursuit
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.
完美主义不是追求最好的。这是对我们自己最坏的一面的追求，这部分告诉我们，无论我们做什么，都不会足够好——我们应该再试一次。
When drawings of the main buildings I have designed in the last five years are juxtaposed, the fact that they all involve the pursuit of certain configurations is obvious to anyone.
当我把过去五年设计的主要建筑的图纸放在一起时，每个人都清楚地看到，它们都涉及到对特定结构的追求。
The pursuit of pretty formulas and neat theorems can no doubt quickly degenerate into a silly vice, but so can the quest for austere generalities which are so very general indeed that they are incapable of application to any particular.
追求漂亮的公式和简洁的定理无疑会很快堕落为愚蠢的恶习，但追求严格的普遍性也会很快堕落为愚蠢的恶习，因为严格的普遍性是如此普遍，以至于它们无法适用于任何特定的情况。
