Every painting is a failure in some way, but that's what keeps you going.
从某种意义上说，每幅画都是失败的，但正是这一点让你继续前进。
【译文】 孔子说：“听从花言巧语就会丧失自己的美德，小事不忍耐就会搅乱大事情。”
Only art is capable of dismantling the repressive effects of a senile social system.
建筑关乎情感，而不仅仅是功能。
To create is to confront the chaos of existence and give it form.
Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.
