“We are reading the first verse
of the first chapter of a book
whose pages are infinite…”
I don't know who wrote those words,
but I have always liked them as a reminder
that the future can be anything
we want to make it.
We can take the mysterious,
hazy future and carve out of it anything
that we can imagine,
just as a sculptor carves a statue
from a shapeless stone.
“我们正在读一本书的第一章第一行，
这本书的页数是无限的……”
我不知道是谁写的，可我很喜欢这句话，
它提醒我们未来是由自己创造的。
我们可以把神秘、不可知的未来塑造
成我们想象中的任何模样，
犹如雕刻家将未成形的石头刻成雕像。 |
