The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.
我们这个世纪的贫困与以往不同。它不像以前的贫困那样是自然稀缺的结果，而是富人强加给世界其他地区的一系列优先事项的结果。
The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.
I don’t want to be famous. I just want to be free.
文学不是现实的镜子，而是通向可能性的窗户。
我们必须倾听科学，即使它挑战我们的传统方法。
Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
