"Life on a lifeboat isn't much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn't be more simple, nor the stakes higher."

The self is only that which it is in the process of becoming.

唯一可能的生存方式是将每一分钟都视为不可重复的奇迹。

Happiness is secured through virtue； it is a good attained by man's own will.

"History remembers the names, but biography remembers the hearts."

每一件艺术品都是一场对话——在艺术家、观众和世界之间。
