I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend.
我喜欢星星。我想这是永恒的幻觉。我的意思是，它们总是在爆发、坍塌和熄灭。但从这里，我可以假装……我可以假装事物是永恒的。我可以假装生命比瞬间更长久。神来了，神又走了。凡人闪烁、闪耀然后消逝。世界不会持久；星星和星系是短暂的、转瞬即逝的东西，像萤火虫一样闪烁，然后消失在寒冷和尘埃中。但我可以假装。
如果你不拥抱新事物，你就无法生存。
作为一名建筑师，你为现在而设计，带着对过去的认知，为一个本质上未知的未来而设计。
You can't look back, you just have to put the past behind you and find something better in your future.
找到自己的最好方法就是在为他人服务中迷失自己。
天空才是极限，你要明白这一点。
