保守主义就是偏爱熟悉而非陌生，偏爱经过尝试而非未经尝试，偏爱事实而非神秘，偏爱实际而非可能，偏爱有限而非无限，偏爱近处而非远方，偏爱足够而非过剩，偏爱便利而非完美，偏爱当下的欢笑而非乌托邦的幸福。
What I think I've been talking about really is success and failure. And one of the interesting things about success is that we think we know what it means. If I said that there's somebody behind the screen who's very successful, certain ideas would immediately come to mind. You'd think that person might have made a lot of money, achieved renown in some field. My own theory of success -- I'm somebody who's very interested in success, I really want to be successful, always thinking, how can I be more successful? But as I get older, I'm also very nuanced about what that word "success" might mean.
