真相并不总是美丽的,但对真相的渴望是美丽的。
I'm not a person who likes to be ordinary.
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.
人世间的一切在我看来是多么可厌、陈腐、乏味而无聊!
我试图模仿耶稣,他说要像孩子一样,爱孩子,像孩子一样纯洁,让自己天真无邪,用惊奇的眼睛看世界。
