A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.
但是,如果你能创造一种体面的生活,你可以运用你的技能并从中谋生,它会给你一种自由感,让你能以自己想要的方式平衡你的生活。
It's always special when you're young and you have a vision for something you want to do, and somebody takes a moment to connect with you. Now if there are kids on the set I try to talk to them for a bit.
当你年轻的时候,你对自己想做的事情有了一个愿景,有人花点时间和你联系,这总是很特别的。现在如果有孩子在片场,我会试着和他们聊一会儿。
I think I have told you, but if I have not, you must have understood, that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see.
我想我已经告诉你们了。我若没有告诉你们、你们必须明白、有异象的人、在地上向众人施行异象以后、才能施展异象的权能。
I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.
我认为照片应该是挑衅性的,而不是告诉你你已经知道的。在一张照片中复制一个人的脸并不需要多大的力量或魔法。神奇之处在于以新的方式看待人。
To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.
对我来说,这就是我作为一个摄影师的本质。就是这些想法,和他们一起工作,形成他们,最终把他们写在纸上,拍摄他们,然后进行下一步。
It's like that with what sort of ideas people outside of the band have of HIM. They all see it through a different lens as well which is beautiful. Hopefully, it makes it an endless topic of conversation.
就像乐队外的人对他的看法一样。他们都从不同的角度来看待它,这是美丽的。希望这能成为一个永无止境的话题。
I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a 'record shot'. My first thought is always of light.
我几乎从不开始拍摄风景,也不认为我的相机是一种记录山或动物的手段,除非我绝对需要一个“记录镜头”。我的第一个想法总是光。
When I view the world, I don't think of my own work. I think of my hope that, through art, people can get a sense of the type of invisible fabric that holds us all together, that holds the world together.
当我看世界的时候,我不会想到我自己的作品。我想到了我的希望,通过艺术,人们可以感受到一种无形的结构,它把我们所有人联系在一起,把世界联系在一起。
I am undecided whether or not the Milky Way is but one of countless others all of which form an entire system. Perhaps the light from these infinitely distant galaxies is so faint that we cannot see them.
我还没有决定银河系是否只是无数其他星系中的一个,所有这些星系构成了一个完整的系统。也许来自这些无限遥远星系的光线太微弱了,我们看不见它们。
My kingdom is as wide as the universe and my wants have no limits. I go forward always, freeing spirits and weighing words, without fear, without compassion, without love, without God. I am called science.
我的王国和宇宙一样宽广,我的需求没有限制。我一直在前进,释放灵魂,斟酌言辞,没有恐惧,没有同情,没有爱,没有上帝。我被称为科学。
People are talking about the Internet as though it is going to change the world. It's not going to change the world. It's not going to change the way we think, and it's not going to change the way we feel.
人们在谈论互联网,好像它将改变世界。这不会改变世界。它不会改变我们的思维方式,也不会改变我们的感觉。
And really the purpose of art - for me, fiction - is to alert, to indicate to stop, to say: Make certain that when you rush through you will not miss the moment which you might have had, or might still have.
而艺术的真正目的——对我来说,小说——是要警醒,表明要停下来,说:确保当你匆忙赶路时,你不会错过你可能拥有的,或者仍然拥有的时刻。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
没有什么比高效地做根本不应该做的事情更没用的了。
Reading stimulates the imagination and a good imagination can change the world in the most splendid of ways.
阅读能激发想象力,而良好的想象力能以最辉煌的方式改变世界。
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.
最勇敢的人当然是那些对眼前的一切有最清晰的认识的人,无论光荣还是危险,尽管如此,他们还是要去迎接它。
The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
旅行的作用是用现实来调节想象,而不是思考事情可能是怎样的,而是看到事情本来的样子。
Imagination is a poor substitute for experience.
想象力是经验的拙劣替代品。
Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.
每一项伟大的工作,每一项伟大的成就,都是通过坚持理想而实现的,往往就在取得伟大成就之前,就会出现明显的失败和挫折。
