The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape it.

在爱情中我们都是傻瓜。

Small acts of kindness can boost your mood more than you might expect.

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

我们看到的这个看起来如此疯狂的世界是一个信仰体系不起作用的结果。要以不同的方式感知世界，我们必须愿意改变我们的信仰体系，让过去消逝，扩展我们对现在的感知，并化解我们心中的恐惧。

True artistry lies in the ability to make people feel something deep and unforgettable.
