Creativity, Steve Jobs

Creativity, Steve Jobs

I think most creative people want to express appreciation for being able to take advantage of the work that’s been done by others before us. We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That’s what has driven me.

- Steve Jobs

대부분의 창의적인 사람들은 이전의 다른 사람들이 이룩해 놓은 것을 이용할 수 있는 점에 고마움을 표한다. 우리는 가진 재능을 활용해 깊은 감정을 표현하고, 이전 시대에 이뤄진 모든 기여에 대해 고마움을 표현하며, 그 흐름에 뭔가를 추가하려 노력한다. 그것이 나를 이끌어준 원동력이다.

- 스티브 잡스

War, Barbara Kingsolver

War, Barbara Kingsolver

There's a graveyard in northern France where all the dead boys from D-Day are buried. The white crosses reach from one horizon to the other. I remember looking it over and thinking it was a forest of graves. But the rows were like this, dizzying, diagonal, perfectly straight, so after all it wasn't a forest but an orchard of graves. Nothing to do with nature, unless you count human nature.

- Barbara Kingsolver (1955~)

프랑스 북부엔 D-데이 전사자들이 매장되어 있는 묘지가 있다. 하얀 십자가의 무덤이 지평선에서 지평선까지 이어지고 있다. 난 그것을 보며 묘비의 숲이라고 생각했던 걸 기억한다. 하지만 묘비의 행렬이 현기증이 날 정도로 완벽한 일직선으로 늘어져 있어서, 묘비의 숲이 아니라 묘비의 과수원이었던 것이다. 무수한 묘비가 펼쳐진 그런 광경은 자연이 만들어낸 게 아니라, 인간이 지닌 폭력성이 만들어낸 거라고 봐야만 했다

Life, Dewey Wilkerson

Life, Dewey Wilkerson

I guess all we can do is live our lives with as much kindness and decency as possible, and try not to dwell on God standing over us with a giant shovel.

- Dewey Wilkerson, Malcom in the Middle

나는 우리가 할 수 있는 모든 것은 가능한한 친절하고, 예절을 지키고, 커다란 삽을 들고 우리 곁에 서있는 신을 생각하지 않으려 노력하면서 살아가는 것이라고 생각합니다.

Rain, Edith Sitwell

Rain, Dame Edith Sitwell

Still falls the rain --
Dark as the world of man, black as our loss --
Blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails upon the Cross.

- Dame Edith Sitwell (1887~1964), Still falls the rain

아직도 비가 내린다 --
인간의 세계처럼 어두운, 우리의 상실(喪失)처럼 검은--
십자가에 박는 천구백 사십개의 못처럼 맹목(盲目)으로.

- 이디스 시트웰, 아직도 비가 내린다

Advice, Sejong the Great

Advice, Sejong the Great

I am neither virtuous, nor skilful at governing. There will definitely be times when I do not act upon the heavens’ wishes. So look hard for my flaws and make me answer to their reprimands.

- Sejong the Great (1937~1450), 1425

나는 고결하지도, 통치에 능숙하지도 않소. 하늘의 뜻에 어긋날 때도 있을 것이오. 그러니 내 결점을 열심히 찾아보고, 내가 그 질책에 답하게 하시오.

- 세종 (世宗, 1937~1450), 1425년
