心灵分为有时会相互冲突的部分。就像骑在大象背上的骑手，意识、推理的心灵部分对自动、情感的部分只有有限的控制。
The mind is divided into parts that sometimes conflict. Like a rider on the back of an elephant, the conscious, reasoning part of the mind has only limited control over the automatic, emotional part.
The mind is a system of organs of computation, designed by natural selection to solve the kinds of problems our ancestors faced in their foraging way of life.
I'm always looking for ways to improve.
世界因你的榜样而改变，而不是因你的观点。
The artist must be a guardian of mystery.
作家的职责是讲述真相，即使它令人不适或不便。
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality.
建筑的美在于它的性能，而不是它的外观。
Every piece of wood has its own character; our job is to reveal its natural beauty.
