The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that's what's happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.

可持续性已不再是一种选择，而是我们对后代的责任。

Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.

我们都是自己未写的故事中的角色。

Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.

【原文】宰予昼寝。子曰：“朽木不可雕也，粪土之墙不可圬也，于予与何诛?”【译文】宰予白天睡觉。孔子说：“真像腐朽的木头一样无法再雕琢，像粪墙一样不能再粉刷了，对于宰予这个人，我还责备他什么呢?”孔子又说：“开始时我对于人，是听了他的话就相信他的行为；现在我对于人，是听了他的话，还要观察他的行为。宰予使我改变了观察人的方法。”

A picture held us captive. And we could not get outside it, for it lay in our language and language seemed to repeat it to us inexorably.

作家的生活是一种痴迷的生活。
