A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
Today more than ever we need creative minds to address the issues of the age. And one of the most urgent is this: How can humanity know so much, achieve so much, and still fail so many people so badly?
今天，我们比以往任何时候都更需要创造性思维来解决这个时代的问题。最紧迫的问题之一是:人类怎么能知道这么多，取得这么多成就，却仍然让那么多人如此失望?
All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.
天地的一切法则都住在你里面。生活本身就是真理，这一点永远不会改变。天地万物都是呼吸的。呼吸是把创造联系在一起的线。
The Church is the new creation, it is life and joy, it is the sacramental fellowship in which we share the ultimate purpose of God, made real for us now in our hearing the Word and sharing the Sacrament.
教会是新造的，是生命和喜乐，是圣礼上的交通，在其中我们分享神的终极目的，使我们现在在听道和分享圣礼时成为现实。
If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotized by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.
如果我们能提供的唯一的新东西是过去的改进版本，那么今天只能比昨天差。被过去的景象所催眠，我们可能会失去所有创造改变的能力。
Being creative is my idea of heaven. I'm just incredibly fortunate that I can do it in artwork. Watercolor is what I started out with. What I love about watercolor is that a lot of happy accidents occur.
有创造力是我对天堂的看法。我非常幸运我能在艺术作品中做到这一点。水彩画是我开始创作的。我喜欢水彩画的原因是很多快乐的意外发生。
I want to write such things as compel the admiring acclamation of the world at large, such things as are written but once in years, things subtle but distinctly different from the books written every day.
我想写一些东西，让全世界都为之赞叹，写一些东西，几年才写一次，写一些微妙但与每天写的书截然不同的东西。
I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. Then I'll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist.
我用故事板的方式写剧本，用简笔画人物，用思维气球、文字气球和字幕。然后我会写一些场景的描述，并把它交给艺术家。
I can arrange all of these little symbols together to invoke emotions and ideas at a whim out of whosoever allows me to cast my spell. It does not take a man and a woman to create. It just takes a writer.
我可以把所有这些小符号组合在一起，在任何一个允许我施展魔法的人的心血来潮中激发情感和想法。它不需要一个男人和一个女人去创造。只需要一个作家。
Ideas may drift into other minds, but they do not drift my way. I have to go and fetch them. I know no work manual or mental to equal the appalling heart-breaking anguish of fetching an idea from nowhere.
思想可能会随波逐流，但不会随波逐流。 我得去拿。我知道没有任何工作的体力或脑力能与之相比 无中生有的想法带来的令人心碎的痛苦。
Science is the greatest creative impulse of our time. It dominates the intellectual scene and forms our lives, not only in the material things which it has given us, but also in that it guides our spirit.
科学是我们这个时代最伟大的创造动力。它支配着我们的精神世界，形成了我们的生活，不仅在它所给予我们的物质方面，而且在它指导我们的精神方面。
It is not possible, given any degree of optimism and generosity in regard to people in general, to set a time limit on creative reflection or a limitation on the number of people involved in the creation.
鉴于对一般人的任何程度的乐观和宽宏大量，对创造性思考或参与创作的人数设置时限是不可能的。
Poetry is a rich, full-blooded whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbers the leaf, the duet of two nightingales, the sweet pea, that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.
诗歌是一声丰富多采、充满活力的哨声，桶中破碎的冰嘎吱作响，数叶的夜晚，两只夜莺的二重唱，狂野的甜豌豆，创造的泪水。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If there is nothing new under the sun, at least the sun itself is always new, always re-creating itself out of its own inexhaustible fire.
如果太阳底下没有什么新东西，至少太阳本身总是新的，总是从它自己取之不尽用之不竭的火焰中重新创造自己。
Creative work is incredibly difficult, and that is where the tests lie.
创造性的工作是非常困难的，这就是测试的所在。

Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.
原创性是一种艺术，它能记住你听到的东西，却忘记你在哪里听到的。
