就是生的不可割除的影子，就是生命那布满喜悦爱情青春和成绩的喜气洋洋的日要的形影不离的旅伴，并且越是邻近日落，那不祥的阴影就越长越明显。

信息消耗的东西相当明显：它消耗接收者的注意力。因此，信息的丰富导致注意力的贫乏。

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.

赫伯特·西蒙

我曾想卖出一百万张唱片，我做到了；我想获得白金认证，我也做到了。从15岁起，我就一直在不停工作，甚至不知道如何放松。

I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I’ve been working nonstop since I was 15. I don’t even know how to chill out.

碧昂丝

The other thing about modern society and why it causes this anxiety, is that we have nothing at its center that is non-human. We are the first society to be living in a world where we don't worship anything other than ourselves. We think very highly of ourselves, and so we should; we've put people on the Moon, done all sorts of extraordinary things. And so we tend to worship ourselves.

现代社会让我们焦虑的另一个缘故是，我们除了人类以外没有其它重心。我们是从古至今的第一个无神社会，除了我们自己以外，我们不膜拜任何事物，我们对自己评价极高，为什么不呢，我们把人送上月球，达成了许多不可思议的事，我们习惯崇拜自己。

阿兰·德波顿

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

If it is a rose， it will blossom.
