Tragic art, as it developed in the theaters of ancient Greece, in the fifth century B.C., was essentially an art form devoted to tracing how people fail, and also according them a level of sympathy, which ordinary life would not necessarily accord them. A few years ago, I was thinking about this, and I went to "The Sunday Sport," a tabloid newspaper I don't recommend you start reading if you're not familiar with it already.
悲剧的艺术来自古希腊。西元前五世纪,这是一个专属于描绘人类失败过程的艺术,同时也加入某种程度的同情。在现代生活并不常给于同情时,几年前我思考着这件事,我去见“周日运动期刊”,如果你还不认识这个小报,我建议你也别去读。
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
生物学是对那些看起来像是为了某种目的而被设计的复杂事物的研究。
自己所具备的美德,可以希望别人也具有,但是不能强求别人具有;自己所没有的品德,可以规劝他人具有,却不能怪罪别人没有。因此待人宽容的人根据自己的心理来体察别人的感受,决不按照自己的情况来衡量别人。
