The number one organ of ridicule, nowadays, is the newspaper. If you open the newspaper any day of the week, it's full of people who've messed up their lives. They've slept with the wrong person, taken the wrong substance, passed the wrong piece of legislation -- whatever it is, and then are fit for ridicule. In other words, they have failed. And they are described as "losers." Now, is there any alternative to this? I think the Western tradition shows us one glorious alternative, which is tragedy.

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

教育不能改变世界。教育改变人。人改变世界。

爱是唯一的现实，它不仅仅是情感，它是终极真理。

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
