The number one organ of ridicule, nowadays, is the newspaper. If you open the newspaper any day of the week, it's full of people who've messed up their lives. They've slept with the wrong person, taken the wrong substance, passed the wrong piece of legislation -- whatever it is, and then are fit for ridicule. In other words, they have failed. And they are described as "losers." Now, is there any alternative to this? I think the Western tradition shows us one glorious alternative, which is tragedy.

写作是探索世界和更好地理解自己的一种方式。
译文:一句话不小心就会招致祸患,一件事不小心就会玷污名节。赏析:口无遮拦的人迟早会给自己带来祸患,行为不检点之人更会玷污自己的名节。我们的一言一行不仅关乎名节,更关乎性命,所以,我们要谨言慎行。
代数分析很快让我们忘记了研究的主要对象,将注意力集中在抽象的组合上,直到最后我们才回到最初的目标。
