A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision

The faculty of vision can vary from person to person. On the other hand, we can rely on what our reason tells us because that is the same for everyone.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Freedom is not to defy, it is to co-exist. It is a challenge for the imagination.
自由不是反抗，而是共存。这是对想象力的挑战。
Let us fix our attention out of ourselves as much as possible; let us chase our imagination to the heavens, or to the utmost limits of the universe; we never really advance a step beyond ourselves, nor can conceive any kind of existence, but those perceptions, which have appeared in that narrow compass.
让我们尽可能把注意力从自己身上移开;让我们把我们的想象力推向天空，或者宇宙的极限;我们从来没有真正超越自己一步，也不能设想任何一种存在，除了那些已经出现在那个狭窄的范围内的知觉。
Imagination should be used, not to escape reality but to create it.
