It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling.

The history of men is the history of their crimes.

人类的历史就是他们罪行的历史。

The only lies for which we are truly punished are those we tell ourselves.

The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves.

世界的历史就是那些相信自己的人的历史。

One isn't born one's self. One is born with mass of expectations, a mass of other people's ideas—and you have to work through it all.

一个人并不是生来就是自己。一个人出生时带着一大堆期望，一大堆别人的想法——你必须努力去解决这一切。

It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling.

对世界抱有理想化的看法是错误的。这就是麻烦的开始。这就是一切开始瓦解的地方。

The only lies for which we are truly punished are those we tell ourselves.
