The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
历史的终结将是一个非常悲伤的时刻。为了纯粹抽象的目标而愿意冒生命危险的斗争,全球意识形态斗争所唤起的勇敢、勇气、想象力和理想主义,将被经济计算、无休止的技术问题解决、环境关注和复杂消费者需求的满足所取代。
If you want to get smart, the question you have to keep asking is 'why, why, why?'
And, after all, what is a fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.Literary and Other Notes I, Woman’s World (November 1887)
可持续性不是一个流行词,而是对后代的承诺。
I have learnt how to live... how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.
