A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
It has taken me years of struggle, hard work and research to learn to make one simple gesture, and I know enough about the art of writing to realize that it would take as many years of concentrated effort to write one simple, beautiful sentence.
我花了多年的努力、努力和研究才学会做一个简单的手势，我对写作艺术也有足够的了解，我意识到，写一个简单、漂亮的句子需要多年的集中精力。
The fine pleasure is not to do a thing but to feel that you could... If I could but get on, if I could but produce a work I should not mind its being buried, silenced, and going no further; but it kills me to be time’s eunuch and never to beget.
美好的快乐不是去做一件事，而是觉得你可以……只要我能继续前进，只要我能创作出一件作品，我就不介意它被埋没、沉寂，再也走不动了;但做时间的太监却永远不会生孩子，这让我很痛苦。
I learned, too, how it was possible with the help of the picture and action to transform an apparently insignificant violin passage into an incident, and to lift a simple horn call into a thing of stupendous significance by means of scenic emphasis.
我也明白了，在画面和动作的帮助下，如何把一段看似无关紧要的小提琴演奏变成一件事变，如何通过对风景的强调，把一个简单的号角声变成一件意义非凡的事情。
Innovation is this amazing intersection between someone's imagination and the reality in which they live. The problem is, many companies don't have great imagination, but their view of reality tells them that it's impossible to do what they imagine.
创新是一个人的想象力和他们所生活的现实之间惊人的交集。问题是，很多公司没有很好的想象力，但是他们对现实的看法告诉他们，不可能做他们想象的事情。
From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I'd use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.
从八岁开始，我就一直用缝纫机做东西。朋友们会看到我做衣服和服装，我会用难做的面料，比如莱卡和松紧带。但是你知道，我爸爸很有创造力，我弟弟也很有创造力。
It is the artist's function not to copy but to synthesise: to eliminate from that gross confusion of actuality which is his raw material whatever is accidental, idle, irrelevant, and select for perpetuation that only which is appropriate and immortal.
艺术家的职责不是复制，而是综合:从作为他原材料的现实的混乱中消除任何偶然的、空闲的、无关紧要的东西，并选择只有恰当的和不朽的东西来永存。
I feel like reading really defined me as a writer because I lived my life outside of my own body for so much of my life and I loved it. I've always been a reader. I think living all those stories served me to naturally take that next step to creating.
我觉得阅读真正定义了我作为一名作家的身份，因为我生命中的大部分时间都是在自己的身体之外度过的，而且我热爱它。我一直是个读者。我认为活在这些故事里让我自然而然地迈出了创作的下一步。
Is not the tremendous strength in men of the impulse to creative work in every field precisely due to their feeling of playing a relatively small part in the creation of living beings, which constantly impels them to an overcompensation in achievement?
人类在各个领域都有进行创造性工作的强烈冲动，难道不正是因为他们觉得自己在创造生命的过程中所起的作用相对较小，从而不断地迫使他们在成就上得到过高的补偿吗?
I chose to deal with the science of cryptography. Cryptography began in mathematics. Codes were developed, even from Caesar's time, based on number theory and mathematical principles. I decided to use those principles and designed a work that is encoded.
我选择了密码学。密码学始于数学。甚至从凯撒时代起，编码就基于数论和数学原理而发展起来。我决定使用这些原则，并设计了一个编码的作品。
When you worry, you go over the same ground endlessly and come out the same place you started. Thinking, on the other hand, makes progress from one place to another. ... The problem of life is to change worry into thinking, and anxiety into creative action.
当你担心的时候，你会无休止地走同样的路，然后回到你开始的地方。另一方面，思考使人从一个地方进步到另一个地方。生活的问题是把忧虑变成思考，把焦虑变成创造。
I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.
我喜欢在胃里感觉蝴蝶，我喜欢回家度过一个不安的夜晚，我想知道我如何才能完成这个壮举，变得紧张不安。对于所有有创造力的人来说，饥饿感和胃里的蝴蝶都是非常重要的。
Fortunately, the war has brought with it not alone a stark realization of what another war would mean to the world, but as well the creation of an international agency through which the nations of the world can, if they so desire, make peace a living reality.
幸运的是，随着战争而来的不仅是对另一场战争对世界将意味着什么的明确认识，而且还建立了一个国际机构，如果世界各国希望通过该机构使和平成为现实。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
True creativity often starts where language ends.
真正的创造力往往始于语言的终结。
Those artists who say that somehow therapy or analysis will thwart their creativity are completely misinformed. It's absolutely the opposite: it opens closed doors.
那些说治疗或分析会以某种方式阻碍他们的创造力的艺术家是完全错误的。恰恰相反:它打开了一扇紧闭的门。
If you spend enough time with your characters, plot simply happens.
如果你花足够的时间和你的角色在一起，情节就会自然而然地发生。
There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves.

Designis a revelation to me. It's like taking something that is not alive and giving it form, shape, substance, and life.
设计对我是个启示。这就像把没有生命的东西赋予它形式、形状、实质和生命。
Without imagination, there would be no creativity. Without creativity, there would be nothing.
没有想象力，就没有创造力。没有创造力，就没有一切。
