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。
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.
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.

我不是男孩,我是女孩。
