One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science, is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, such men make this cosmos and its construction in the pivot of their emotional life, in ordered to find the peace and the security, which they cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.
引导人们走向艺术和科学的最强烈动机之一,是逃离日常琐碎生活及其痛苦的粗鲁和绝望的沉闷,就像这些人将宇宙及其构建置于他们情感生活的枢纽中,以寻找他们在个人生活的狭窄漩涡中找不到的和平和安全。
世界是一个伟大的故事,我们是其中的角色。
——辛格1978年诺贝尔文学奖获奖演说
We're all working together; that's the secret.
智者寻求的善,就是智者。
我不考虑年龄。我考虑的是人们的精神和能量,以及他们是否积极乐观,是否有趣相处。
