I think the most important thing in life is self-confidence.

过去从未消亡，它甚至从未过去。

I don’t sleep, I rest my eyes.

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.

最好的建筑是消失的建筑，成为景观的一部分。

世界上充满了神奇的事物，耐心地等待着我们的感官变得更加敏锐。

翻译：蒙昧无知的人要用正道来培养，这是圣人的功业。
