有两种情况，创造的圣洁之美变得极其明显，它们同时发生。一种是我们感到自己对世界的不足，另一种是我们感到世界对我们的不足。
"There are two occasions when the sacred beauty of Creation becomes dazzlingly apparent, and they occur together. One is when we feel our mortal insufficiency to the world, and the other is when we feel the world's mortal insufficiency to us."
我不想因为出名而被记住，我想因为勇敢而被记住。
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
