我々が生きていく中で…

IMAGE: Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today.

我々が生きていく中で為すべきことは、他人を追い抜くことではなく自分自身を乗り越えること――自己の記録を破り、昨日の自分を今日の自分が上回ることなのだ。 – スチュアート・B・ジョンソン (1938 – ) More »

若者たちにとって…

IMAGE: It is really important that young people find something that they want to do and pursue it with passion. I'm very passionate about filmmaking. It's what I love to do.

若者たちにとって、やりたいことを何か見つけてそれに情熱を注いでいくことは、実に大切なんだ。僕は映画製作に大いに情熱を注ぐよ。自分の大好きなことだからね。 – スパイク・リー (1957 – ) More »

人生は積み重ねだと誰でも思っているようだ。ぼくは逆に、積みへらすべきだと思う。財産も知識も、蓄えれば蓄えるほど、かえって人間は自在さを失ってしまう。過去の蓄積にこだわると、いつの間にか堆積物に埋もれて身動きができなくなる。人生に挑み、本当に生きるには、瞬間瞬間に新しく生まれかわって運命をひらくのだ。それには心身とも無一物、無条件でなければならない。捨てれば捨てるほど、いのちは分厚く、純粋にふくらんでくる。 – 岡本太郎 (1911 – 1996): 『自分の中に毒を持て』 (Ninel_SによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »
