A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
My idea in terms of managing a narrative, or in thinking in my creative life, is that you could easily argue that the past, the present and the future all occur simultaneously, and if you can postulate that, then you're not strictly bound to a linear narrative.
我的想法是管理一个叙事，或者在我的创造性生活中思考，你可以很容易地争辩说过去，现在和未来都同时发生，如果你可以假设，那么你就不是严格的线性叙事。
I would run into the corner store, the bodega, and just grab a paper bag or buy juice - anything just to get a paper bag. And I'd write the words on the paper bag and stuff these ideas in my pocket until I got back. Then I would transfer them into the notebook.
我会跑到街角的商店，杂货店，拿一个纸袋或买果汁——任何东西，只是为了得到一个纸袋。我会把这些话写在纸袋上，然后把这些想法塞进我的口袋里，直到我回来。然后我会把它们记在笔记本上。
Do not despise my opinion, when I remind you that it should not be hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places, in which, if you consider them well, you may find really marvellous ideas.
不要鄙视我的意见,当我提醒你,你不应该很难停止有时,看着墙上的污迹,或灰火,或云,或泥像的地方,,如果你考虑好,你可能会发现真正奇妙的想法。
The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation. The human body is an energy system which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy in order to make it new.
人的身体不是一个物体或物质，而是一个持续不断的创造。人体是一个能量系统，它从来就不是一个完整的结构;从来没有静态;永远处于自我建构和自我毁灭之中;我们破坏是为了让它焕然一新。
I get an idea about something. I just start thinking about it, and then I get onstage and I talk about it, and then I think about it some more and talk about it some more, and think about it some more and talk about it some more, until it starts to take a shape.
我有个主意。我只是开始思考这个问题，然后我走上舞台，开始谈论这个问题，然后我再思考这个问题，再谈论这个问题，再思考这个问题，再谈论这个问题，直到它开始成形。
The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.
我把图案和面料混搭的方式令人震惊，可能会让人感到不安，但我想做的是激发人们对如何用不同的方式组合衣服的新想法。我认为这是一种更现代的方式来穿衣服，本身就是相当经典的。
A maverick feels like he has no choice however difficult his choice of expression. In my case, it was going backwards into tonality. It seemed so wrong. The idea that progress is going into the past in a new way is very strange, even though there are precedents.
一个标新立异的人，无论他的表达方式多么困难，他都觉得没有选择。在我的例子中，它回到了调性。这似乎大错特错。进步正以一种新的方式进入过去的观点非常奇怪，尽管有先例。
I was tired and I had overworked myself and burnt myself out. So I went to Egypt by myself. When I saw what was built there, it made me understand how powerful we are, that we can create anything. And I felt like I needed to create things that were timeless too.
我累了，我过度劳累，把自己累垮了。所以我一个人去了埃及。当我看到那里建造了什么，它让我明白我们是多么强大，我们可以创造任何东西。我觉得我也需要创造永恒的东西。
The dripping... well, if it happens, it happens; it does not take anything from the work. The dripping just proves that you were not trying to control the work, but the work was developing by itself and if it drips, it's a natural part in the evolution of the work.
滴……如果它发生了，它就会发生;它不会从工作中拿走任何东西。滴水只是证明你并没有试图去控制作品，而是作品本身在发展，如果滴水，那是作品进化过程中自然的一部分。
Being lazy does not mean that you do not create. In fact, lying around doing nothing is an important, nay crucial, part of the creative process. It is meaningless bustle that actually gets in the way of productivity. All we are really saying is, give peace a chance.
懒惰并不意味着你不创造。事实上，无所事事是创作过程中一个重要的，甚至是至关重要的部分。毫无意义的忙碌实际上阻碍了生产力的发展。我们真正想说的是，给和平一个机会。
A great deal of creativity is about pattern recognition, and what you need to discern patterns is tons of data. Your mind collects that data by taking note of random details and anomalies easily seen every day: quirks and changes that, eventually, add up to insights.
大量的创造力是关于模式识别的，而你需要识别模式的是大量的数据。你的大脑通过记录每天很容易看到的随机细节和异常现象来收集数据:这些怪癖和变化，最终会累积成洞见。
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
一个年轻而有活力的孩子不知道自己意志的极限，这是他唯一的现实。这并不是说他一开始就想与其他意志作斗争，而是这些意志对他来说根本不存在。像艺术家一样，他独自一人，光荣地从事创作工作。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
创造力就是把事物联系起来。当你问有创造力的人他们是如何做某件事的，他们会感到有点内疚，因为他们并没有真正做这件事，他们只是看到了一些东西。过了一会儿，他们觉得很明显。这是因为他们能够把自己的经历联系起来，并综合新的事物。
Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.
众所周知，创造性思维能够经受住任何糟糕的训练。
Painting does what we cannot do - it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.
绘画做了我们不能做的事——它把一个三维世界带入一个二维平面。
Each of us is carving a stone, erecting a column, or cutting a piece of stained glass in the construction of something much bigger than ourselves.
我们每个人都在雕刻一块石头，竖立一根柱子，或者切一块彩色玻璃来建造比我们自己更大的东西。
The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before.
当你创造出一些以前没有的东西时，世界总是看起来更美好。
Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.
独创性，加上勇气，加上努力，等于奇迹。
