the importance of living--林语堂
|
|||
|
1. We must have an attitude of expecting neither too much nor too little from life. 2. It is not truth that makes man great, but man that makes the truth great. 3. Only those who take leisurely what the people of the world are busy about can be busy about what the people of the world take leisurely. 4. Reality - Dreams=Animal Being Reality + Dreams=A Heartache(usually called Idealism) Reality + Humor=Realism(also called Conservatism) Dreams – Humor=Fanaticism Dreams + Humor=Fantasy Reality + Dreams + Humor=Wisdom 5. Life is but a dream. 6. This philosophy is characterized by: first, a gift for seeing life whole in art; secondly, a conscious return to simplicity in philosophy; and thirdly, an ideal of reasonableness in living. 7. Wives are always better if they are others’, while writing is always better if it is one’s own. 8. Talented men who are at the same time handsome, and beautiful ladies who at the same time can write, can never live a long life. This is not only because the gods are jealous of them, but because this type of person is not only the treasure of one generation, but the treasure of the all ages, so that the Creator doesn’t want to leave them in this world too long, for fear of sacrilege. 9. It is for this reason that I believe a sane and reasonable spirit, characterized by simplicity of living and thinking, can be achieved only when there is a very much greater prevalence of humorous thinking. 10. Loss follows the pursuit of gain. 11. A great man is he who has not lost the heart of a child. 12. Passion holds up the bottom of the world, while genius paints the roof. 13. An egg today is better than a hen tomorrow. 14. The spirit is a condition of the perfect functioning of the endocrine glands. 15. The difference between a clever man and a dull fellow is that the former has a set of finer lenses and perceiving apparatus by which he gets a sharper image of things and retains it longer. 16. Those who are wise won’t be busy, and those who are too busy can’t be wise. 17. Life passes like a spring dream without a trace. 18. Nothing matters to a man who says nothing matters. 19. Man cannot live with a woman, nor can he live without her. 20. Human civilization, as seen through its successive stages of development, is a dynamic movement from heterogeneity to homogeneity. 21. One just babbles along and babbles along in the state of half drunkenness, which id the best and happiest state. 22. As we are all animals, it is not common sense to say that we are what we eat. 23. Man is liable to forget how small and often how futile he is. 24. True it is that when the cup of happiness overflows, disaster follows. 25. Spring is the natural frame of mind of heaven; autumn is one of its changing moods. 26. Literature is landscape on the desk, and a landscape is literature on the earth. 27. A man should so live as to be like a poem, and a thing should so look as to be like a picture. 28. Thinking without learning makes one flighty, and learning without thinking is a disaster. 29. The style is the man. 30. A writing is always better when it is one own, and a woman is always lovelier when she is somebody else’s wife. 31. Genuine literature is but a sense of wonder at the universe and at human life. 32. I think, therefore I exist. 33. I am sufficient an I am. |
