"The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it."
唯一真正的优雅在于思想；如果你有了这一点，其余的一切都源于此。
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 human mind is not just a passive recorder of reality but an active constructor of it.
