历史的终结将是一个非常悲伤的时刻。为了纯粹抽象的目标而愿意冒生命危险的斗争,全球意识形态斗争所唤起的勇气、想象力、理想主义,将被经济计算、无休止的技术问题解决、环境问题和复杂消费者需求的满足所取代。
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
Sustainability isn't optional anymore—it's the price of admission to the global marketplace.

On morals: "The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That's approaching evil."
"The world is a terrible place, and art is the only way to run away without leaving home."
保持耐心,耐心等待机会。
过去从未死去,它甚至不是过去。
