The writer must be a traitor to all orthodoxies.

The most hateful torment for men is to have knowledge of everything but power over nothing.

我不是那种会让对过去的热爱减少的人。

译文 ：真机、真味要含蓄一些，不要轻易点破。这样，其中的奥妙就会无穷无尽，难以用言语表达。所以圣人从不夸夸其谈。真机、真味一旦点破，说一年都说不完，就像往裂缝里浇水一样支离破碎，没有任何耐人寻味的地方了。

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.  

一个伟大的剪辑师知道何时该克制，何时该推进。
