Chapter 18 Faith and thinking

Poetry is the light of electricity, and poetry is the arrangement of language.It is not surprising, therefore, that when the poem is in the sequence of the people, they like to line up; when it is in the sky, they do not like to be in the same light. I am wrong because my thoughts come from the world of deprivation, and my love words from the world of imitation. Nostalgia is a stumbling block on the road to hope. Paying attention to people's faults is our greatest fault. I respect the man who reveals his thoughts to me, respects the man who reveals his dreams to me.However, I am ashamed to stand in front of such a person: he is better than me, but he is doing my laundry; I am worse than him, but he is cooking for me.

Without sight and hearing, light and sound are nothing but trembling and stirring in the sky.At the same time, if you don't have a heart that loves you and a heart that loves you, then you are nothing but floating dust. Whoever pities a woman despises her.Whoever blames her for the disaster of society is wronging her.Whoever thinks that a woman's goodness comes from his goodness, and that a woman's evil comes from his evil, is a conceited pretender.Only like God, not like himself Only those who like a woman can treat her fairly. Poverty is a temporary lack.Abundance beyond need is a permanent disease.

Love is a need that has no end. Only those who tell the truth believe those who tell the truth. If you want to know a woman, look at the corners of her mouth when she smiles.If you want to understand a man, just look at the whites of his eyes when he is angry. Some of them gave me a ewe sheep, so I rubbed them a female camel.Afterwards, they gave away two female sheep, and I gave back two female camels.Afterwards, they came to my sheepfold and counted how many ewes there were, and there were nine, so they gave me nine more ewes! Nothing demonstrates fear more than bumbling determination.

The most useful of men is the furthest from them. You are two people: the one who thinks he knows himself; the other who thinks people know him. Science and religion are absolutely consistent, and science and sects are absolutely inconsistent. It is the ruled who most want to know the stories of kings. Nursing the sick is one way of mummification. If being is not better than nothing, then there is no being. When you step on the broad road, you see beauty in everything, even in eyes that cannot see beauty. If I put my treasures in front of the pigs, they may swallow them and die from digesting them or eating too much.

Can a man with a full mouth still sing? When emotion withers, it becomes thought. There are two kinds of poets: an intelligent man with the personality of a scientist; or a self-revealer before he becomes a man.The poetic difference between cleverness and revelation is the difference between pointy nails that tickle the skin and lovely lips that kiss a wound to heal it. If you want to understand a person's heart, then you should not look at what he has achieved, but at what he aspires to achieve. Staring at the small picture nearby for a long time makes it difficult to watch the big picture in the distance.

I get people interested in illegitimate debates and keep them away from legitimate ones. Praise makes me stand ashamed before the praiser; praise makes me stand proudly before the world. When I think of Jesus of Nazareth, I see a very infant looking at the face of his mother Mary for the first time, or a crucified giant looking at his mother Mary for the last time. Leah's face. Each of us is a warrior on the battlefield of life, but some of us lead and some of us are led. The soul is fire, and its ashes are flesh. There is something reassuring in the basic fact that everything happens when it is supposed to happen.

The pen is the scepter, but how few kings are writers! A ruse may succeed in the beginning but fail in the end. Isn't the man who hides his intentions in rhetoric like the woman who tries to hide her ugliness in beautiful clothes? They cut down trees, the written pages of life, in order to make paper out of them, and write their follies on them. The butterflies fluttering in the fields and the dew glistening in the grass will remain after the pyramids of Egypt are gone and the skyscrapers of New York are gone. We can never reach the summit of light except through the path of the dark abyss.

How can we hear the singing of the fields if our ears cannot digest the hustle and bustle of the city? If business is not exchange, it is theft. The difference between what great men show us and what they hide from us is like the difference between the rain that falls on our fields and the cloud that floats on our mountaintops. The best person is the one who is shy when I compliment him and silent when I sarcastic. The singer is the one who sings the song of our silence. Along with the pain of love, creation, and responsibility, is the pain of delight. The most questionable of them is the least able to answer them.

Those who are afraid of evil are not excellent; those who are afraid of falling are not those who are ascending. He found in his actions many familiar sensuality, respect, and enthusiasm.Patience, longing, wonder, forgiveness, and mixing them all, and extracting from them that unique treasure we call love, where is the chemist? Whoever needs encouragement in order to do a noble or good thing does not and never can do a good or noble thing. Misunderstanding may be the shortest path between two souls. The strong grow with loneliness, the weak die. They told me that if a man knows himself, he must know everyone.I said: "If a person loves others, then he must know a little about himself."

There is no one who forbids me to do a thing without a stronger desire for it than I do. Reputation is the burden that men place on the back of a good man to know his endurance.If he bears the burden and can walk without interruption, he is elevated to the height of a hero; if he stumbles and falls, he is considered among the ranks of braggarts and liars. The optimist sees the rose but not the thorn, and the pessimist sees the thorn but not the rose. Life loves and hates, life craves, and we are compelled to fulfill its wishes and satisfy its tastes, whether we want to or not. When a person cannot understand Socrates' mind, he turns to admire Alexander.When he can't grasp the meaning of Virgil, he turns to promote Caesar.When he felt profound about Laplace's thoughts, he went to play the drum and flute for Napoleon.The strange thing is that I have never met a man who loved Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon without showing subservience and slavishness in his heart.

Humans created machines and made them work, only to be manipulated by them.In this way the master becomes the slave of his slave. The contribution of certain wealthy people is that they have taught us to despise wealth. Eloquence is the tongue playing tricks on the ear; language skills are sending one 』 to another heart. The beginning of civilization is the moment when human beings dug up the land and sowed seeds for the first time. Religion arose when human beings understood the affection of the sun for the seeds they sowed in the ground. The beginning of art is when human beings sing praises to the sun. The first rise of philosophy was when human beings ate the food of the earth until they were satisfied. The value of man lies in what he creates, even if it is small, not in what he collects, even if it is many. There is no wealth beyond need. Every nation is responsible for the actions of each of its members. The sound cannot carry the lips and tongues that give it wings, so it can penetrate the barrier of the sky alone; the eagle cannot carry its nest, so it can soar alone in the sky. Faith may reveal truth more than experience. Most writers mend their shabby minds with dictionary patches. Of all doctrines, prohibition and promise are more harmful than disorder. The law is a net that catches only petty criminals. Pretentious shyness is ugliness in disguise. Bravery is the sixth sense which detects the shortest paths to victory. Perhaps the purity of the body is the selfishness of the soul. His usury keeps me from the signal of the snake and the poisonous tongue of the unclaimed. I have never met a conceited person who was not stubborn. How strange that we dread death, yet long to sleep and have a good dream! Some people are too noble to steal from you, but they think it is justified to abridge your thoughts and words. Our grief for the dead can also be a form of jealousy. We all admire strength, but most of us admire its changing physical appearance, and few stand in awe of its fixed spiritual fruits. Some stars were extinguished long, long ago, and no longer glowed. Some people died long, long ago and we are still affected by their personalities. The king's king is the one whom the poor secretly love. There is no pleasure and leisure in modern civilization that does not cause disturbance. Your trust and doubt in people goes hand in hand with your trust and doubt in yourself. They demand freedom of speech and press, but they have nothing to say or write. They said to me: "Good things come from the middle." But who among us would like to be a glass of lukewarm water?Who wants to be a person struggling between life and death?Who wants to be a jelly in the middle of flow and solidification? Strength and tolerance are inseparable. Whether we love or not, just comes from the ebb and flow of the sea. Poverty is warded off by the mind before it succumbs to the purse. Humanity is divinity that is separated on the surface but connected on the inside. Whoever wears the most luxurious clothes at his neighbor's funeral will wear rags at his son's wedding. "Monster", "Phoenix", "Faithful Friend", no nonsense, I have seen them all in my neighbourhood. Creators don't take critics seriously, except when creators become barren. Civilization consists in two things: taking the fruits of the land and distributing the fruits of the land. The just is the one who is closest to people's hearts.The merciful are those closest to the heart of God. Proficiency lies in cutting and eliminating, but also in organizing and arranging. Off track, or out of madness, or out of great wisdom. If you allow yourself to do what your conscience forbids, you are doing it wrong.If you forbid yourself to do what your conscience allows, you are also wrong. Poetry is the secret of the soul, how can language reveal it?Poetry is the comprehension of the whole. How can we reveal it to those who only know the parts?Poetry is the flame of the heart, interpretation is the snowflakes, and who can reconcile cannon with snowflakes? The longing of exposition is not very different from the pain of trudging with weight. How cruel is the heart of the well-fed man who warns the hungry of the pangs of hunger and thirst! In the past, representative government was something of a cause of revolution.Today, they are some kind of outcome of the economy. Weak nations consider the strong among their sons and daughters to be weak, and the weak among the sons and daughters of strong nations to be strong. The secret of the melody is the harmonious harmony between the shock in the singer's voice and the trembling in the listener's heart. Unless the singer is excited and possessed, it will not make you excited or possessed. A poor literary man and a foolish rich man got together, and the two exchanged literature and property.When they broke up, the first one found that he only had a handful of soil in his hand, and the second one felt only a cloud of fog in his heart. Virtue, they think, lies in all that wears me out and cheers my neighbor, and vice in everything that wears me out and wears out my neighbor.Oh!If only they knew that I could be a virtuous man or a sinner in a hut with no neighbours. Check your ledger from yesterday and you will see that you are still in debt to people and to life. Meekness and gentleness are signs of strength and determination, not weakness and laxity. I plant my pain in the ground of stoicism, so I grow joy. When a believer sees that the fox's strategy has overcome the lion's justice, he almost doubts the justice of life. Fear of the devil is a certain doubt about God. Slaves are the fault of kings. In what we consider to be difficult, there may be the shortest path to it. What we take to be intellect in some of their heads is at best a partial combustion. Art is an agreement between personal content and natural appearance to create new forms. Citation is the voluntary descent of the superior to the level of the inferior. Obstinacy is the mirror of such a man: he looks at it long enough to see his hidden self trying to commit suicide. What we regard as despicable and ugly is only the betrayal of the inner by the outer appearance. Society is pushed toward repetition, but genius toward creation. We are all actors in matters concerning ourselves; we are all imaginers in matters concerning others. How I pity the man who stretches out his tongue to praise and his arms to beg at the same time. Innocence is always someone who doesn't think that he has nothing to do with other people's shortcomings. Whoever understands the unity of life will see that there is no difference between the prophecy among men and the fruit on the tree. History does not repeat itself, except in the minds of those who do not understand history. The villain is an ill-suited creation that slowly adapts to the law of "survival of the fittest".Whoever reminds you again and again of the good he has done you loses the gift of God. O why does he draw water from your sea, and boast of his ditches? ! A free man is one who stoically bears the burden of a slave. Beauty in the heart of the desirer is nobler than beauty in the eye of the beholder. The people I most praise are the ones that people have trouble doing right. Language has no meaning until it is translated into habit. I am a believer.However, in a country that reads Persia but does not understand Haraj and Ibn Arabi; although it is proud of the Roman monument of Baalbek, it does not remember a word by Evram Syriani ⑤ and John Damaki ⑤ How difficult it is for a people who only speak one language! Every founder of a new doctrine is a reformer.If he is right, he will lead men to the truth; if he is wrong, he will make them stubborn to the truth. The need for explanation is the best proof that a thing is not solid. Faith is a knowledge of the mind that is more remote than proof reaches it. After thinking about the dew, I know the secret of the sea. Where is the man who retains his reason in spite of habit and affection? More talent, fewer friends. If you are poor, don't be with the man who measures people by their money. When the brave little ones are in power, all the timid big ones recoil. People recall the plague with gloom and trepidation.Then recall Alexander.Caesar, Napoleon, they beat drums, flutes, and dances! The person who encourages me to do something may keep me away from that thing. Thrift is manifested in this: You are a generous and generous person to everyone, except to thrifters. The most sympathetic people are those who sink in the mire and look up to the sky. I saw them eating, so I knew who they were. Someone said to a foolish chatterer, "Your word heals." So he stopped and demanded the rights of medical authorities. In some of their thoughts about you, there may be thoughts of wishing you to stay away from them. What shall I say to such a man? —If I kiss his face, he will slap me; if I slap him, he will kiss my feet! How hard is the life of the man who asks for love and gives only desire! Shyness has an almost similar effect to attractiveness. The closest among us to God is the closest among us to people. Marriage is life or death, there is no middle state. Please keep me away from this kind of person! ——This kind of person said: "I am like a candle, burning myself and illuminating others"; let me approach this kind of person! ——I feel that I am always borrowing the light of others.Don't you? As soon as someone forbids me to do something, I understand: he has tried it many times and it has not worked. Some of them dare not laugh when they hear a joke, because they are afraid that the joker will take them for a fool. Some of the silky faces are covered with coarse cotton wool. You are deaf and I am dumb.Let one of us see the other in the light of God! Some people thought that by closing my eyes and not looking at them, I seemed to be flirting with them. Life is a boat, slow people think it is too fast, so they leave it; fast people think it is too slow, so they also leave it. How can a square head consider a round mind? Whenever a piece of food is placed in front of me, I ask myself, "What are these things I'm about to swallow? Is it a fully formed solar system, or is it an unfinished nebula?" People who believe in religion don't believe in sects; people who believe in sects don't have religion. My reasoning convinces the ignorant; the reasoning of the wise convinces me.As for the person whose thinking is between wisdom and foolishness, I can't convince him, and he can't convince me either. If the purpose of religion is gift, the purpose of patriotism is profit, and the purpose of science is advantage, then please give me a liberal secularist, a loyal non-patriotic, and a humble ignorant! Such an era will come.The sons and daughters of our time are no more willing to trace our lineage back to us than we are to trace our lineage back to the apes. Some people listen with their eyes, some with their stomachs, some with their wallets, and some don't listen at all! Some people's souls are like sponges, and the juice you squeeze out of them is what they suck from you. If there are two men who are exactly the same, the world will definitely not tolerate them. Most people with delicate feelings will rush to touch your feelings because they worry that you will go ahead of them and touch their feelings first. The disaster of all nations lies with the man who does not sow seeds, does not lay bricks and stones, does not make clothes, but is busy with politics! Demonizing mannerisms is the admission of ugliness. They say there is contentment in silence.Yes, in silence there is negation; no, there is rebellion; no, there is contempt! To connect is not to join, to be apart is not to separate. As soon as I saw a dull man among men, I found his root in my heart. The stranger in the house can be comforted by his kind; the stranger in the mind can find no one to comfort him. Truth is the daughter of inspiration, and seeking and debating keep people from her. Whoever forgives you a sin you have not committed is in fact forgiving a sin he himself has committed. An abandoned baby is a child whose mother conceived him with love and faith, gave birth to him with fear and dying pain, and then wrapped him up with his last breath and sent him to the door of the orphanage Lay down, stoop and walk under the burdened cross to complete this tragedy.Then we come, and you cry with us: "Shame! Shame!" Aspiration is a kind of action. Turning from weakness to strength is the surrender of the part to the whole. There is a line thinner than a spider's thread between the wise and the mad. Among men there are those who find joy only when they seek pain, and those who make themselves clean only when they seek filth. There is nothing that the Orientals of today are more ashamed of than the remains of the Orientals of yesteryear. The good in men is unnatural if they are compelled.Even if people are buried, the evil in them will not be eliminated. Fear of hell is hell. Yearning for heaven is heaven. We should not forget that cave dwellers still inhabit the caves of our minds. If you disdain both ease and joy, and sorrow and trouble, you live next to the shadow of that thing by which thought bewilders. Hope is the beginning of fulfillment. A poet is but a lily that grows from a skull. Nothing proves our doubts about a thing so much as our over-certainty about it. If you choose between two evils, choose the obvious, even if it is the greater, and not the concealed one, even if it is the lesser. They say, "Get their secrets from their children!" And I say, "Get their minds from their children!" How similar is the man who endorses to write, to the man who borrows in order to lend money! One of them praised me and I didn't reward him; he complained about me and I didn't pay attention, so people laughed at him. Won't you keep me from such people? —the man who speaks the truth only for the sake of ridicule, the man who does good deeds but has a bad heart, who thinks that promotion consists in finding fault in others. Does the sea's song end at the shore, or in the heart of the listener? The rich approached the aristocrats, and the aristocrats approached the rich, and each of them hated the other. Most of us are some kind of mind that oscillates between the rebellion of the silent and the submission of the talkative. He who has many goals is the one furthest from reaching them. The highest state of the spirit is in obedience, even the object that reason rebels against; the lowest level of reason is in rebellion, rebelling against the object that the spirit obeys. All-out help may be a kind of contempt for the helper, or, conversely, a form of respect. I have learned to create from parrots. Nothing leads us to a dialogue of human love so much as our mourning for the dead! Truth, born in quest, almost becomes a hero. Isn't it strange that we remember more those who are against us than those who agree with us? It is only when I find myself expounding too much that I doubt the truth of the things I wish to expound. Minds charged - a strange thing we have here. They give me the milk of mercy, and I am grateful.But, if only they knew, I was weaned before I was born! A spiritual man is one who has passed through all the trials of the flesh and then rebelled against the flesh. Man is a seeker; he has not and never will be an inventor. The philosophy is to find the shortest route between two points. Isn't it a saving for the government to build castles for wise men instead of mental asylums for madmen? The strongest part of a building is the rock at the bottom of its foundation. I write on my door: Thy Tradition Out, Come In! "It turned out that no one came to visit. How many barren plants there are in the earth, How many clouds are there in the sky that do not rain. Even the law of life is subject to the law of life. How much alike we say "yesterday" is when we say "since ancient times"!We say "tomorrow", How like we say "forever"! How strange--my virtues do me harm, but my vices do me no harm!But I still cling to virtue. How some of them praise like ugliness. I have learned from the general sentiments of my people to go forward. Life kisses us on the cheek every morning and evening, but she laughs at our achievements in the morning and evening. They said to me: "Whoever teaches you an alphabet, you are his slave." Therefore I have been a free ignorant. Listen to women! —when she looks at you, not when she talks to you. Sweetness is closer to bitterness than to rancidity. All truth is relative, only the truth of beauty is absolute. Feeling is the youth of the mind, thought its middle age, and interpretation its old age. Who of us will listen to the murmur of the brook when the storm speaks? How hard is the life of the man who would have died, but lived out of compassion for his dear ones! If you want to see the lowlands, then you go to the high mountains; if you want to see the high mountains, then you go to the clouds; if you want to understand the clouds, then you close your eyes and think. I was lost in the wilderness of the earth, and I was caught and made a slave.Later I was released as a civilian.After that, I worked as a businessman, as a writer, as a minister, and as a king.Afterwards I became a tyrant and was deprived of the throne.Immediately I became a mess maker.Then he becomes an outsider, a earner, then a liar, then a wanderer, and finally a slave lost in the wilderness of his heart. The self-proclaimed philosopher is a mirror that reflects images of things but does not see them, a cave that emits echoes but does not hear sounds. Poets are just people who, if you read a poem by him, feel that the best lines in it have not yet been written. Everyone can long, long, long, until the longing removes the veil of appearances from his eyes, and then he will see himself. There is no end to your life, for you endure because all things endure. God has sent a messenger in every heart to lead us to the light.But some people seek life from outside themselves.Life is within him, but he doesn't know it. Whoever cannot send you into the hall of his pain, he cannot let you into the chamber of his love. Mercy can be given to the weak, but I am still a strong man because of my sorrow. Life, all life, is those things that we experience with all our souls.Existence, all existence, consists in those things which we know, which we affirm, and therefore delight or suffer. Behind the veil of my happiness pain creeps before me.At the bottom of my glass, bitterness settles. Spoken knowledge is the shadow of unspoken knowledge. If you understand the cause of my ignorance, you will be a wise man. Man is born timid and weak, so when the storm blew up, he hid in a crack in the ground. You can crush flowers, but can you erase their fragrance? Life has given me a cup of bitter wine, let it be God's will!We are human beings, we are trembling molecules in a boundless emptiness, we can only be docile and submissive.If we love, our love is neither from us nor for us.If we are happy, then our happiness does not lie in us, but in life itself.If we are suffering, the suffering does not lie in our language, but in the inner nature of all nature. Whoever complains is doubting life.And I am of believers.I believe, therefore, that the bitterness that mingles in every sip of the wine I drink from the forest of night is good; I believe that the nails that pierced my breast are beautiful; Ironpaw is merciful. I have loved death many times.I have called it by all sorts of sweet names.I have admired it secretly or openly.And though I have not yet won Death's favor, nor relinquished my promise to him, I have come to love Life too.To me, death and life are equally beautiful, equally sweet, equally arousing my longing and yearning, equally arousing my love and tenderness. In my law, there are three classes of people: One curses life, one blesses life, and one contemplates life.I love the first category because of his suffering; I love the second category because of his tolerance; I love the third category because of his inertia. Man is a being between his inner infinity and his outer infinity.If we don't have something that exists within us, there won't be something that exists outside of us either. I am a stranger.There is a brutal solitude and a painful solitude in this strangeness.But this strangeness keeps me thinking forever of a wondrous country I don't know, and fills my dreams with visions of a far-off land I've never seen. Perhaps the flower you cast on the forgotten grave is like the dew that the eye of dawn casts among the withered leaves. He died because he did not love his enemies like the weak, nor hate his lover like the righteous. I see Orientals clinging to some of their fantasies, even the shadows of their national customs.This surprised me! The sea does not sleep.In the lucidity of the sea there is solace to a sleepless soul. Sleeplessness brings me closer to the stars. There is fishy smell in blood, and sweetness in tears. People don't like the happiness in their lips, nor the truth in their belly, because happiness is the daughter of tears, and truth is the son of blood. Love is a congenital weakness that we inherit from our first beings. Love is a lucidity that embraces both death and life, from which it creates dreams stranger than life, deeper than death. Life is a beautiful witch who seduces our hearts, fascinates our souls, and fills our existence with promises.If she delays her promise, she kills our patience; if she keeps her promise, she awakens our weariness. The love that unites a man's heart with a woman's is a command beyond the will of both. Love is a force that exists with us, connecting our present with generations past and future. Love gets tired and creates confusion.The black snake churning in the cave of hell sprayed out poisonous juice, which scattered in the sky.Then it was wrapped in dewdrops and fell from the sky.So the thirsty soul sucks.So the soul is drunk for a while, then sober for a year, and then dies forever. Love is the rest of the body in the silence of the grave, and the peace of mind in the depths of eternity. Love is the Dover River in Paradise, which the Fairy of the Dawn pours into the mighty soul, and makes it sing its praises before the stars of the night, and rises slowly.In front of the sun in the daytime, I sing Qingqu and swim freely. Love is that sublime knowledge which illuminates our horizon, whereby we see all things as the gods do. Love is a strange flower that shoots from the depths of its sensitive self and lights up all around, so that it sees the world as a procession on green fields and life as a journey between sane and sane dream. Love is a thick fog that envelops the mind on all sides, so that it cannot see the picture of the world, but sees only the phantoms of its nature quivering among the rocks, and hears only the echoes of its cries winding through the hollows of the valleys. . Love is my father, love is my mother.Love only knew my father and mother. People are misguided.They have left their reality for their own falsehood, lost between what they have attained and what they have not attained. How many beneficial poisons are there in the world!People avoided them because their weak stomachs couldn't digest them. Love, like death, changes everything. Some people's souls are like the blackboards hanging on the school walls: texts, grammar, and example sentences are written on it every day, but they are quickly wiped off with a wet sponge. The essence of music is that when the singer stops singing and the musician stops playing, it will still vibrate in your ears. What shall I say to a man who borrows my money to buy a sword, with which he fights me? ! An enemy said to me, "Love your enemy!" I obeyed. —I love myself. Black said to white: "If you were gray, I could tolerate you." How many people know the price of everything, but not the value of each thing! Each man's life story is written on his forehead, but in words that only the enlightened one can read. Show me your mother's face and I'll tell you who you are. I know his father, so how can I not know him? The freedom of the man who boasts of his freedom is a form of slavishness. Some of them thanked me not out of sensibility, but in order to advertise before the people that they were entitled to my great gifts. A sound taste consists not in exacting, nor in selection, but in arranging things, and finding the natural affinities of their quantities and characters. Some are rougher than others are gentle. People's aversion to things they don't understand is like a fever patient's resistance to delicious food. Gossiping is not a defect, but a disease. I like children, but they don't have beards; I respect old people, but they don't lie in babes and cradles. Art is closely related to customs, dress, religion, social traditions, and is connected with every expression of our social life. An aging nation that does not learn from the achievements of the modern nation will die in literature and become shattered in spirit. Men are all born of one endowment, and they are not different from each other except in trivial appearances and appearances. Remorse often brings ridicule and contempt rather than forgiveness and forgiveness. Eternity preserves only love because it is what it is. Be patient, for confusion is the beginning of knowledge. Who can buy me a good thought for a tower of gold?Who can let me exchange a handful of treasures for a minute of love?Who would take my savings and give me eyes that can only see beauty? Birds of prey don't bite each other. Everything in life is good, even money.Because it teaches people a kind of caution.Money is like an organ. Those who can't play it well hear tunes they don't like.Money is like love, it kills the stingy and lives the generous. A land where thorns choke flowers is uninhabitable. Conscience is a just but weak judge, and weakness stands in the way of his execution.Love takes many forms: sometimes wisdom, sometimes justice, sometimes hope. 人不知道心灵怎样从物质的奴役中获得解放，除非在获得解放之后。他也不知道花儿怎样对晨光微笑，除非在晨光降临之后。 精神也许能依靠自己的智慧从鼠李中撷取无花果。心灵也许能借助它的爱从黑暗中引来光明。 那个借助自己的意志和亚当的软弱把亚当带出乐园的女人，已经用她的爱怜和我的服从把我重新带入天堂。 埃及人的艺术在深蕴。 边勒底人的艺术在决心。 希腊人的艺术在和谐。 罗马人的艺术在呼应。 中国人的艺术在崇敬。 印度人的艺术在善恶。 犹太人的艺术在忧患。 阿拉伯人的艺术在回忆与夸张。 波斯人的艺术在精致。 法国人的艺术在细腻。 英国人的艺术在争荣与批评。 西班牙人的艺术在赤裸的物质。 意大利人的艺术在于美。 德国人的艺术在明志。 俄国人的艺术在哀愁。
