我們為什麼需要巴黎聖母院

https://cn.nytimes.com/opinion/20190417/notre-dame-cathedral-fire/

人類生命的喪失是可怕的，但美的毀滅也許同樣可怕。在一個充滿焦慮、醜陋、仇恨和謊言的時代，這場大火讓人感受到了不祥。“美即真理，真理即美，”約翰·濟慈(John Keats)寫道，“知道這個就夠了。”
我的巴黎朋友薩拉·克利夫蘭(Sarah Cleveland)給我寫信說：“靜得出奇，人們彷彿陷入了恍惚，看著火焰在大教堂牆內沸騰，像一口大鍋。場面莊嚴肅穆。還有絕望。如此具有紀念意義的東西竟然如此脆弱。”
文明是脆弱的。民主是脆弱的，就像那個尖頂。今天，對此視而不見是不可能的，也是危險的。當一個普世參照物化為烏有時，一個深淵就打開了。

英國百貨公司Selfridges創辦人 塞爾弗里奇 Harry Gordon Selfridge

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you’re doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.

With all the tensions and worries that stop us noticing how sweet the world can be.

There’s only so much fortune a man really needs, and the rest is just for showing off.

Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Only through pain can you achieve your greatness.

Our job is improving the quality of life, not just delaying death.

You need to believe that something extraordinary is possible.

In your life, there will at least one time that you forget yourself for someone, asking for no result, no company, no ownership nor love. Just ask for meeting you in my most beautiful years.

An unacceptable love needs no sorrow but time- sometime for forgetting. A badly-hurt heart needs no sympathy but understanding.

I love and am used to keeping a distance with those changed things. Only in this way can I know what will not be abandoned by time. For example, when you love someone, changes are all around. Then I step backward and watching it silently, then I see the true feelings.

Don't forget the things you once you owned. Treasure the things you can't get. Don't give up the things that belong to you and keep those lost things in memory..

We all live in the past. We take a minute to know someone, one hour to like someone, and one day to love someone, but the whole life to forget someone .

One is always on a strange road, watching strange scenery and listening to strange music. Then one day, you will find that the things you try hard to forget are already gone.

Time erodes all such beauty, but what it cannot diminish… is the wonderful workings of your mind. Your humor, your kindness… and your moral courage.

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are, it is our choices.

Love is eternal. It has been the strongestmotivation for human actions throughout history. Love is stronger than life.

You need to believe that something extraordinary is possible.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the bestof things, and no good thing ever dies.

Sometimes I think I’m crazy cau’z I see things so differently from everyone else.

You`ve got nothing to lose, and you’ll always regret it if you don’t.

When you are young, you may want several love experiences. But as time goes on, you will realize that if you really love someone, the whole life will not be enough.

Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away.

We’re all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.

The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination

Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
