A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
There's something about taking a film from concept to script, through production, and then to see the final thing happening in the edit phase. It's almost like a miracle in the making.
从概念到剧本，再到制作，再到最后的剪辑阶段，这一切都是有意义的。这几乎像是一个正在创造的奇迹。
I'll confess right here that I secretly wish I'd have drawn a strip about a little boy with a fake tiger, going for adventures throughout the universe in spaceships of his imagination.
我在这里承认，我暗自希望我能画一个带着一只假老虎的小男孩的漫画，在他想象的宇宙飞船里冒险穿越宇宙。
The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the State but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime. . .
在我看来，在人生的绚丽多姿中，真正有价值的不是国家，而是有创造力、有知觉的个体、有个性的人;它独自创造了崇高和崇高……
When anything goes digital, let alone something as immaterial as a book, there is a tendency to see it as just in the air to be taken, and to lose the sense that somebody once made it.
当任何东西数字化的时候，更不用说像书这样的非物质的东西了，人们倾向于把它看作是在空气中被带走的东西，而失去了曾经有人创造过它的感觉。
If you don't believe in yourself, then who will believe in you? The next man's way of getting there might not necessarily work for me, so I have to create my own ways of getting there.
如果你不相信自己，那么谁会相信你呢?别人的方法不一定对我有效，所以我必须创造自己的方法。
Gestating characters feels something like the mental equivalent of gestating a baby. In both cases, to create them you lose yourself. Or at least you reshape yourself to encompass them.
孕育角色的感觉就像孕育婴儿一样。在这两种情况下，你都失去了自我。或者至少你重塑自己来包容他们。
I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.
我相信梦是我们通过潜意识释放出来的最纯粹的幻想形式。它们代表了我们所能体验到的最真实的自由。完全不受压抑，完全有创造力。
Fear, conformity, immorality: these are heavy burdens. They drain us of creative energy. And when we are drained of creative energy, we do not create. We procreate, but we do not create.
恐惧、顺从、不道德:这些都是沉重的负担。它们耗尽了我们的创造力。当我们的创造力枯竭时，我们就不再创造。我们生育，但我们不生育。
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
建构与创造的全部区别就在于:一个被建构的事物只有在被建构之后才能被爱;但是创造出来的东西在它存在之前就已经被爱了。
As for my next book, I am going to hold myself from writing it till I have it impending in me: grown heavy in my mind like a ripe pear, pendant, gravid, asking to be cut or it will fall.
至于我的下一本书，我要克制自己不去写它，直到它迫近我的心头:它在我的脑海里变得沉重起来，像一个成熟的梨，挂饰，妊娠期，要求被剪掉，否则它就会掉下来。
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.
首先是思想;然后把这种思想组织起来，形成思想和计划;然后将这些计划转化为现实。正如你将观察到的，开始在你的想象中。
Once a novel gets going and I know it is viable, I don't then worry about plot or themes. These things will come in almost automatically because the characters are now pulling the story.
一旦一部小说开始，我知道它是可行的，我就不会担心情节或主题。这些东西几乎会自动出现，因为角色现在正在拉故事。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
