歷史的終結(jié)將是一個(gè)非常悲傷的時(shí)刻。為了純粹抽象的目標(biāo)而愿意冒生命危險(xiǎn)的認(rèn)可斗爭,以及呼喚出勇氣、想象力、理想主義的全球意識(shí)形態(tài)斗爭,將被經(jīng)濟(jì)計(jì)算、無休止的技術(shù)問題解決、環(huán)境關(guān)注和復(fù)雜消費(fèi)需求的滿足所取代。
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
The best way to be happy is to be grateful.
我寫作是為了理解人類經(jīng)驗(yàn)的復(fù)雜性。
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world.
我不是完美主義者,但我喜歡把事情做好。
The health of the soil determines the health of the herd—never forget that.
The beauty of a structure lies in its logic.
