"The most dangerous prisons are those we build for ourselves."

The best ingredients make the best bread. It's as simple as that.

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

当我们错把地图当作疆域时，哲学便是指回现实的罗盘。

对上帝的观念越强大和生动，它将越影响我们的生活和性格。
