A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
最伟大的艺术家没有任何概念，一块白色大理石不可能包含在它的内部，只有一只顺从心灵的手才能穿透这幅图像。
The subject of my work has a lot to do with general, artistic matters, questions like: What is creativity? Where do we come from? What are our motors? What is coincidence? What is logic?
我作品的主题与一般的艺术问题有很大关系，比如:什么是创造力?我们从哪里来?我们的发动机是什么?什么是巧合吗?逻辑是什么?
A lot of people have this ego need that makes them want to believe that Earth is the center of the universe and humans are the most important species, the supreme expression of creation.
很多人都有这种自我需要，这使得他们愿意相信地球是宇宙的中心，而人类是最重要的物种，是造物的最高表达。
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
想象把人类从黑暗时代带到今天的文明状态。想象力使哥伦布发现了美洲。想象力使富兰克林发现了电。
Because over and over again, the times that I've done really good things is because I've had a wonderful client of some kind, and a lot of it depended on me to induce them to be creative.
因为一次又一次，我做过真正有意义的事情的时候，是因为我有一个很棒的客户，而这很大程度上取决于我如何引导他们变得有创造力。
The Biblical world view sees Earth and its ecosystems as the effect of a wise God's creation and... therefore robust, resilient, and self-regulating, like the product of any good engineer.
圣经的世界观认为地球和它的生态系统是明智的上帝创造的结果。因此，就像任何优秀工程师的产品一样，它具有健壮性、弹性和自我调节能力。
Creation implies authority in the sense of originator. The possibility of a 'Fall' is implied in a Covenant insofar as the idea of a Covenant implies the possibility of its being violated.
创造意味着创始者意义上的权威。一个“堕落”的可能性在一个盟约中是隐含的，因为一个盟约的概念意味着它被违反的可能性。
It's hard to know whether certain characters come to life or not, they either come to have their own life or they don't. I've written many things in which the characters just remain inert.
很难知道某些角色是否活过来了，他们要么有自己的生活，要么没有。我写过很多东西，里面的人物都是惰性的。
It [philosophy] always creates the world in its own image, it cannot do otherwise; philosophy is this tyrannical drive itself, the most spiritual will to power, to ‘creation of the world’.
它(哲学)总是按照它自己的形象创造世界，否则它不能这样做;哲学就是这种专制的驱力本身，是对权力、对“创造世界”的最精神的意志。
The rate of human invention is faster, and the rate of cultural loss is slower, in areas occupied by many competing societies with many individuals and in contact with societies elsewhere.
在许多与许多个人竞争的社会所占据的地区以及与其他地方的社会有联系的地区，人类的发明速度更快，文化的流失速度也更慢。
I have the ability to create and be in touch with God. I can't change bread and wine into body and blood, but I can take the scum or the slime of the earth and make it into a man or woman.
我有能力创造并与上帝保持联系。我不能把面包和酒变成身体和血，但我可以把地上的渣滓变成男人或女人。
Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.
创造力不仅仅是我们年轻和童年时期的天真的自发性;它还必须与成年人的激情相结合，这是一种活到死后的激情。
KEEP EXPLORING
