你解释得越多，艺术的力量就越弱。

It’s not given to human beings to have such talent that they can just know everything about everything all the time. But it is given to human beings who work hard at it — who look and sift the world for a mispriced bet — that they can occasionally find one.

The past is not dead, it is not even past.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

译文：认识到过去所做的事是错误的，那么说明学问在日渐进步；能看到别人的言行有可取之处，说明德行操守在日渐提高。赏析：一个人的思想若要变得成熟，肯定要读书学习，更要学习别人的长处和优点。人愚昧无知不可怕，最怕愚昧无知还不自知，还不懂得学习和改变。

And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'
