Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.

  • -- Abigail Adams 阿比盖尔·亚当斯

智慧和洞察力是经验的结晶,而不是退休和休闲的教训。伟大的需要造就伟大的美德。

What I mean is that none of my talents had a - what's that great word - rubric. A singer, an actor, a dancer - there was nothing I could really say I was. The writing came much later. And, actually, thank God, because if I had said I'm a singer, I would really have just had one thing to do.

我的意思是,我所有的才能都没有一个——那个伟大的词是什么——规则。一个歌手,一个演员,一个舞者——我没有什么可以说我是。写作要晚得多。事实上,感谢上帝,因为如果我说我是一个歌手,我就只有一件事要做了。
