The very shaping of history now outpaces the ability of men to orient themselves in accordance with cherished values. And which values? Even when they do not panic, men often sense that older ways of feeling and thinking have collapsed and that newer beginnings are ambiguous to the point of moral stasis.

现实不是我们所看到的，而是我们通过艺术所发现的。

寻找真理的人的存在，远比那些认为自己已经找到真理的人的存在更值得珍视。

我们会死。那可能是生命的意义。但我们使用语言。那可能是我们生命的尺度。

生活要么是一场大胆的冒险，要么什么都不是。

Language is a virus from outer space.
