From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
中年之后,只有已为告别人生做好准备的人,才能继续在生活中朝气蓬勃。
The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.
最可怕的事情是完全接受自己。
A collection of a hundred great brains makes one big fathead.
集合起一百个伟大头脑,就会得到一个大傻瓜。
Here we must ask: Have I any religious experience and immediate relation to God, and hence that certainty which will keep me, as an individual, from dissolving in the crowd?
在此我们必须发问:我是否拥有任何宗教体验、拥有与上帝的直接关联,从而获得一种确然性,使我做为个体免于消融于群众?
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
潜意识如果没有进入意识,就会引导你的人生而成为你的命运。
Wholly unprepared, we embark upon the second half of life. Or are there perhaps colleges for forty-year-olds which prepare them for their coming life and its demands as the ordinary colleges introduce our young people to a knowledge of the world? No, thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.
我们完全手足无措地踏上生命的后半征程。普通大学把年轻人引入知识世界,什么学校能让四十几岁人为未来生活做好准备?没有这种学校,我们完全无备地踏入后半生;而更糟的是,我们假定现实和理想会一如既往地效忠于我们。但实际上,我们不能依照生命之晨,来度过生命之午后,因为晨时的伟大会成为傍晚时的琐碎,而晨时的真理会在傍晚变为谎言。
What is essential in a work of art is that it should rise far above the realm of personal life and speak to the spirit and heart of the poet as man to the spirit and heart of mankind.
艺术作品应当超越个人生活的天地、直面诗人的精神与内心深处,如同人直面人类的精神与内心。
It is, moreover, only in the state of complete abandonment and loneliness that we experience the helpful powers of our own natures. 而且,只有在完全的听天由命和孤独状态,我们才能体验到我们自身天性的积极力量。
In some way or other we are part of a single, all-embracing psyche, a single "greatest man".
在某种意义上,我们从属于一个涵盖一切的单一心灵、从属于一个单一的“总体人”。
What is stirred in us is that faraway background, those immemorial patterns of the human mind, which we have not acquired but have inherited from the dim ages of the past.
在我们的内心深处被唤起的,就是那个久远的背景——古老的人类心理模式,它们源于遗传而非后天习得,我们从业已模糊的往日世代继承了它们。
