美国也是一个幻觉,是所有幻觉中最伟大的一个。白种人相信——全心全意地相信——他们有权夺取土地。杀死印第安人。发动战争。奴役他们的兄弟。如果世界上有任何正义,这个国家就不应该存在,因为它的基础是谋杀、盗窃和残忍。
And America, too, is a delusion, the grandest one of all. The white race believes—believes with all its heart—that it is their right to take the land. To kill Indians. Make war. Enslave their brothers. This nation shouldn’t exist, if there is any justice in the world, for its foundations are murder, theft, and cruelty.
The best architecture is the one that doesn’t need explanation.
The task of architecture is to create a framework for human life.
译文:想要看清一个人,应当看看他交的是什么朋友。
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
那些许诺我们人间天堂的人除了地狱什么都没有搞出来。
