Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

吃饭不可不嚼便咽，走路不可不看便走，话不可不考虑便信口乱说，事不可不计划就贸然去做，衣服不能随便就脱，钱财不能随便据为已有，怒气不可不忍而任意发作，朋友不可不加选择地乱交。
无为也是一种良药。
每位艺术家都将画笔浸入自己的灵魂，将自己的本性绘入画中。
The only thing that really matters in architecture is the quality of the space.
