Silence is not just the absence of noise; it's a presence, a space where thoughts can grow.
沉默不仅仅是噪音的缺失；它是一种存在，一个思想可以生长的空间。
The quality of institutions is the key determinant of a country's success or failure.
我写作是为了理解自己的生活。
没有人是有极限的。
我认为最好的演员是那些愿意冒险的人。
Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
