如果生活没有了乐趣，那将是一场悲剧

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

如果生活没有了乐趣，那将是一场悲剧。。

-Stephen Hawking 英国物理学家

I wanted to be myself. Only myself.

我想成为我自己，只是我自己。

- Brigitte Bardot

Only the gentle are ever really strong.

只有温和的人才是真正强大的。

-James Dean 美国男演员

I think it is very important for people to run away...from home, from the mainstream, from their family, from the culture, from the society that produced them...because the moment I have to learn something new, like new habits, new languages, I myself have something like a rebirth. I reduce myself to the lowest denominator and this is very healthy for an artist. To start all over again.

我认为逃跑对人们来说是很重要的……从家里逃跑，从主流逃跑，从他们的家庭逃跑，逃离文化，也逃离产生他们的社会……因为这个时刻我必须学习一些新的东西，比如新的习惯，新的语言，我自己就有一个重生的东西。我把自己降到了最低水平，这对一个艺术家来说是非常健康的。学着从头再来。

--Saul Steinberg  索尔·斯坦伯格，美国艺术家

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.

愿你的选择反映了你的希望，而不是你的恐惧。

-Nelson Mandela 纳尔逊·曼德拉，南非总统

Send me flowers while I'm alive. They won't do me a damn bit of good after I'm dead.

在我活着的时候送我花。我死了以后它们对我一点好处都没有。

-Joan Crawford 美国女星

If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.

如果它不是一个挑战，就无法改变你。

-Bette Davis 美国演员

When I say 'hero', do not picture someone with the strength to fight and conquer evil - because evil is not something that can ever be conquered or defeated. Evil is natural. It is innate in all humans. But while it can't be defeated... it can be controlled. In order to control it, and live the life of a true hero, you must learn to see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.

当我说“英雄”时，不要去想象一个有超能力战胜邪恶的人，因为邪恶并不是可以被征服或击败的东西。邪恶是很自然的。它是人类与生俱来的。但是，虽然它不能被击败……却可以被控制。为了控制它，并做一个真正的英雄，你必须学会用不被仇恨蒙蔽的双眼去看世界。在邪恶中看到善良，善良中发现邪恶。不要偏袒任何一方，但发誓保持善恶之间的平衡。

-Hayao Miyazaki 日本动漫作家

Stories come out from where we live and what we hear and see and feel, so I don't know what will come next. It's like fishing: You just wait...It's like I always say, "The chef cooks the fish, the chef doesn't make the fish." Desire is the bait, the fish is caught, and then the chef cooks it. Ideas are like fish. They just come to you sometimes, and when you're really lucky, you fall in love with them and know exactly what to do.

故事来源于我们生活的地方，我们听到的，看到的，感受到的东西。因此我们不知道接下来会发生什么。这就像是钓鱼：你只是等待...就像我经常说的：“厨师烹饪鱼，但他们不能制造鱼。”欲望就像是鱼饵，鱼被捉住了，厨师烹饪它。想法就像鱼，他们有时候来到你身边。当你真正幸运的时候，你爱上他们，然后知道自己具体要做些什么。

- David Lynch

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

所有的孩子都是艺术家。问题在于如何在他们长大之后依然是一名艺术家。

-Pablo Picasso 巴勃罗·毕加索，西班牙艺术家

Well I suppose nothing is meant to last forever. We have to make room for other people. It's a wheel...you get on, you have to go to the end, and then somebody else takes their place. 

我认为没什么事情是永恒的。我们必须给其他人腾出位置。就像是一个车轮......你向前推进，你终将走向结束，然后其他人会占据你的位置。

-Vivian Maier 摄像师

No matter how long you work, it's always going to end sometime. And there's always going to be things left undone. And it doesn't matter if you lived until you were seventy-five. There would still be new ideas. There would still be things that you wished you would have accomplished. You could work for several lifetimes... Part of the reason that I'm not having trouble facing the reality of death is that it's not a limitation, in a way. It could have happend any time, and it is going to happen sometime. If you live your life according to that, death is irrelevant. Everything I'm doing right now is exactly what I want to do.

无论你工作多长时间，最终都会有结束的时候。到那时候总会有还未完成的事。你能否活到七十五岁也无所谓。新的想法总是会出现。总是会有那些你想做却未能完成的事。你可以有好几辈子的时间来工作...我不害怕面对死亡的原因之一在于死亡并不是一种限制。它什么时候都可能会发生，而且它将来一定会发生。如果你好好过日子，死亡一点也不重要。我当下做的每一件事都是我现在想做的事。

-Keith Haring

Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered. Your time is short.

死亡赋予生命意义，让你知道时光短暂，去日不多。

-The Ancient One（古一）, fromDoctor Strange

Where is the real? All appearance are deceitful, the visible surface is deceptive. I look at my hand...it is nerves, muscles, bones. Let us go deeper: it is molecules and acids. Further still: it is an impalpable waltz of electrons and neutrons. Further still: an immaterial nebula. Who can prove that my hand exists?

什么是真实？所有的表象都是虚伪，可以看见的表面都是假的。我看着我的手...它是神经、肌肉、骨头。让我们看得更深一点：它是分子和酸。更深一点：它是无形的电子和中子。更深一点：一种非物质的星云。谁可以证明我手的存在？

- Salvador Dali

A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.

很多人都害怕表达他们想要什么。这就是为什么他们最终得不到自己想要的。

- Madonna

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get...only what you are expecting to give - which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.

爱情和你期待得到的东西无关...它是你想要给予的东西，所有的东西。你得到回报的方式有很多种，但它们和你的给予都毫无关系。你付出因为你爱，因此情不自禁的付出。

- Katharine Hepburn

A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.

一个安静而朴素的生活带来的喜悦远远大于无休止地对成功的追求。

-Albert Einstein 德国物理学家

When I was a child my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk, you'll be the pope.' Instead, I was a painter and became Picasso.

当我还是个孩子的时候，母亲对我说：“如果你成为一名士兵，你将会成为一个将军。如果你成为一名僧人，你就会成为教皇”。结果，我选择当一个画家，而我成为了毕加索。

-Pablo Picasso 西班牙画家

Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.

没有什么是绝对的。一切都在变，一切都在动，一切都在运转，一切都会最终消逝。

-Frida Kahlo 墨西哥画家
