The pain is temporary, but the glory is forever.
痛苦是暂时的，但荣耀是永恒的。
教学是我最伟大的艺术作品。
你花所有时间试图找回被夺走的东西时，更多的东西正从门口溜走。
"We are all the sum of our stories, and biography helps us understand the equation."
We should cultivate indifference to everything.
"Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose."
In a way, if you like, at one end of the spectrum of sympathy, you've got the tabloid newspaper. At the other end of the spectrum, you've got tragedy and tragic art. And I suppose I'm arguing that we should learn a little bit about what's happening in tragic art. It would be insane to call Hamlet a loser. He is not a loser, though he has lost. And I think that is the message of tragedy to us, and why it's so very, very important, I think.
