A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
The painting develops before my eyes, unfolding its surprises as it progresses. It is this which gives me the sense of complete liberty, and for this reason I am incapable of forming a plan or making a sketch beforehand.
这幅画在我眼前展开，随着它的展开，它的惊奇也随之展开。正是这一点给了我一种完全自由的感觉，正因为如此，我无法事先制定计划或勾画草图。
I was trying to make something really hard, but then I thought I should make something really soft instead, that could be molded into different shapes. That was how I came up with the first plastic. I called it Bakelite.
我试着做一些非常硬的东西，但后来我想我应该做一些非常软的东西，可以塑造成不同的形状。这就是我如何想出第一个塑料。我叫它胶木。
Properly practiced creativity must result in greater sales more economically achieved. Properly practiced creativity can lift your claims out of the swamp of sameness and make them accepted, believed, persuasive, urgent.
适当地运用创造力，一定会带来更大的销售额，更经济地实现。适当地练习创造力可以使你的要求脱离千篇一律的泥沼，并使它们被接受、相信、有说服力、紧迫。
I want to do very useful buildings and I would like to find a method of producing these buildings through our technology because I think that this is the only way that we will gain wonderful environment easily in the future.
我想做非常有用的建筑，我想找到一种方法来生产这些建筑通过我们的技术，因为我认为这是唯一的方法，我们将获得美好的环境容易在未来。
Active creation is conceived as a transitive action in which there is always presupposed an object about which the agent is concerned; it is virtually but not formally transitive because it makes, not presupposes, an object.
主动创造被认为是一种传递行为，其中总是预设一个与主体有关的对象;它实际上是但形式上不是可传递的，因为它构成一个对象，而不是预设一个对象。
To write music is to raise a ladder without a wall to lean it against. There is no scaffolding: the building under construction is held in balance only by the miracle of a kind of internal logic, an innate sense of proportion.
创作音乐就像扶起一架没有墙支撑的梯子。这里没有脚手架:在建的建筑只有通过一种内在逻辑的奇迹，一种天生的比例感，才能保持平衡。
A creative person has to create. It doesn't really matter what you create. If such a dancer wanted to go out and build the cactus gardens where he could, in Mexico, let him do that, but something that is creative has to go on.
一个有创造力的人必须创造。你创造了什么并不重要。如果这样一个舞者想要出去建造仙人掌花园，在墨西哥，他可以，让他去做，但必须要有一些创造性的东西。
Creative work is often driven by pain. It may be that if you don't have something in the back of your head driving you nuts, you may not do anything. It's not a good arrangement. If I were God, I wouldn't have done it that way.
创造性的工作往往是由痛苦驱动的。如果你的后脑勺没有让你发疯的东西，你可能什么都不会做。这不是一个好的安排。如果我是上帝，我就不会那样做了。
They want more production and they want it cheaper. But no matter what happens, the creative idea will be perpetuated by somebody who comes up with a vision. I don't care if there are three ceos - it takes one guy with an idea.
他们想要更多的产品，而且想要更便宜。但是无论发生什么，创造性的想法将会被那些有远见卓识的人延续下去。我不在乎是否有三位首席执行官——一个人要有一个想法。
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
一个人不是因为专心而无所事事。有看得见的劳动，也有看不见的劳动。思即苦干，思即行。双臂交叉起作用，双手合十起作用。仰望天堂是一种创造的行为。
My true function within a society which embraces all of us is to continue an age-old tradition. This tradition is to create images from the depths of the imagination and to give them form, whether visual, intellectual or musical.
在一个包容我们所有人的社会中，我的真正职责是延续一个古老的传统。这一传统是从想象的深处创造图像，并赋予它们形式，无论是视觉的、智力的还是音乐的。
In my case, I used the elements of these simple forms - square, cube, line and color - to produce logical systems. Most of these systems were finite; that is, they were complete using all possible variations. This kept them simple.
在我的例子中，我使用了这些简单形式的元素——正方形、立方体、直线和颜色——来生成逻辑系统。这些系统大多是有限的;也就是说，他们完全使用了所有可能的变化。这使他们保持简单。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.
那些不能创造和改造自己的人，必须满足于借来的姿态，二手的想法，适应而不是脱颖而出。
Human beings are creators, flinging powerful images into the minds of their fellow men. And all of these images are built of tiny particles of thought.
人类是创造者，把强有力的形象抛入同胞的脑海。所有这些图像都是由微小的思想粒子构成的。
It's fun being creative and that's satisfying.
有创意很有趣，也很令人满意。
Books deliver information so that experience has a chance to exercise creativity.
书籍传递信息，让体验有机会发挥创造力。
A jazz performance centers upon the process of creation. The final objective is not only the finished product, but the path and process taken towards it.
爵士乐的表演以创作过程为中心。最终的目标不仅是最终的产品，而且是通往它的道路和过程。
It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
创造奇迹的总是简单的东西。
