The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.
我们钦佩的人的品质,如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和同情,在我们的系统中是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质,如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自我中心和自私,却是成功的特质。
实现明天理想的唯一限制是我们今天的疑虑。
Reality is not only stranger than we suppose, but stranger than we can suppose.
We are never as happy or as unhappy as we imagine.
没有所谓的抽象艺术——所有艺术都以自己的方式具体存在。
