If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.

  • -- Thomas Wolfe 托马斯·沃尔夫

如果一个人有才能却不能运用,那他就失败了。如果他有一种天赋,但只使用了一半,那么他已经部分失败了。如果他有一种才能,并且不知何故学会了运用它的全部,他就已经获得了辉煌的成功,赢得了很少有人知道的满足感和胜利。
