英国-爱尔兰 · 1919–1999

维基百科 ↗“Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. Love, and so art and morals, is the discovery of reality.”
英语
“爱是极其困难的认识到自身之外的事物是真实的。爱，以及艺术和道德，是对实在的发现。”
“Art and morals are one. Their essence is the same. The essence of both of them is love. Love is the perception of individuals. Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.”
英语
“艺术与道德是一体的。它们的本质相同。它们的本质都是爱。爱是对个体的感知。爱是极其困难的认识到自身之外的事物是真实的。”
“Attention is the natural prayer of the soul. I have used the word attention, which I borrow from Simone Weil, to express the idea of a just and loving gaze directed upon an individual reality.”
英语
“注意力是灵魂的自然祈祷。我使用"注意力"一词——借自西蒙娜·韦伊——来表达一种公正而充满爱的目光，投向个体的实在。”
“We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. And the chief instrument for this is unselfing — a disciplined suppression of the greedy ego.”
英语
“我们生活在一个幻想的世界里，一个幻觉的世界。生活中的伟大任务是发现实在。而主要的工具就是去自我化——对贪婪自我的有纪律的抑制。”
“The Good has nothing to do with purpose, indeed it excludes the idea of purpose. All is vanity is the beginning and the end of ethics. The only genuine way to be good is to be good for nothing.”
英语
“善与目的无关，实际上它排斥目的的观念。一切皆虚空，是伦理学的起点和终点。唯一真正善良的方式，就是无所为而为善。”
“In the moral life the enemy is the fat relentless ego. Moral philosophy is properly, and target of its analysis is properly, not the good man — since we can scarcely imagine him — but the confused man, the man in the cave.”
英语
“在道德生活中，敌人是臃肿而无情的自我。道德哲学的恰当对象，其分析的恰当目标，不是善人——因为我们几乎无法想象他——而是困惑的人，洞穴中的人。”
“Anything which alters consciousness in the direction of unselfishness, objectivity and realism is to be connected with virtue. Virtue is au fond the same in the artist as in the good man in that it is a selfless attention to nature.”
英语
“任何使意识向无私、客观和现实主义方向转变的事物，都与德性相关联。德性在艺术家和善人那里本质上是相同的，因为它是对自然的无私关注。”
“Man is a creature who makes pictures of himself and then comes to resemble the picture. This is the process which moral philosophy must attempt to describe and analyse.”
英语
“人是这样一种存在：他为自己制造图像，然后变得与图像相似。道德哲学必须试图描述和分析的，正是这个过程。”
