And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'
我们都在阴沟里,但仍有人仰望星空。
I used to walk down the street like I was a star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.
我很喜欢圣奥古斯丁在“上帝之城”里的一句话,他说“以社会地位评价人是一种罪”。用现在的口吻说,看一个人的名片来决定你是否要和他交谈是罪。对圣奥古斯丁来说,人的价值不在他的社会地位,只有神可以决定一个人的价值,他将在天使围绕、小号奏鸣,天空破开的世界末日给于最后审判,如果你是像我一样的世俗论者,这想法太疯狂了,但这想法有它的价值。
