The only limits in life are those you impose on yourself.

成为哲学家不仅仅是有微妙的思想，甚至也不是建立一个学派，而是如此热爱智慧以至于按照它的指示生活。

The number one organ of ridicule, nowadays, is the newspaper. If you open the newspaper any day of the week, it's full of people who've messed up their lives. They've slept with the wrong person, taken the wrong substance, passed the wrong piece of legislation -- whatever it is, and then are fit for ridicule. In other words, they have failed. And they are described as "losers." Now, is there any alternative to this? I think the Western tradition shows us one glorious alternative, which is tragedy.

We are all searching for something, whether we admit it or not, and that search defines us.

我们都在寻找一种方式，来证明自己的存在。
