The arts are a way of making sense of the world.

It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

我一直相信数字、方程式和逻辑能带来理性。

【译文】 子夏说：“重贤轻色、尽心孝顺父母、尽力献身国家、交朋友言而有信的人，即使没有高等学历，我也认为他已经受到了良好的教育。”

金钱和权力不会改变你，它们会揭示你的真面目。
