The little things, I can obey. But the big things – how we think, what we value – those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone – or any society – determine those for you.

Every society has its own problems, The way to do it, I think, isn’t to run away. You have to work at creating your own culture.

我說要建立自己的次文化，意思並不是要你對週遭的規定都置之不顧。舉例來說，我不會光著身子到處跑。我不會闖紅燈。這些小事我可以遵守，但大的事情 – 我們怎麼想，我們看重什麼 – 這些你得要自己選擇。你不能讓任何人或任何社會，為你決定這些事情。

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

太多人像是行屍走肉，就算他們做著自己認為重要的事情，也似乎是半睡半醒，這是因為他們追逐的目標不對。生命若有意義，就要投入去愛別人，投入去關懷你周遭的人，投入去創造一些讓你活得有目的、有意義的事情。

The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.

我們的文化讓人無法自知自適。你得要十分堅強，才有辦法拒絕這錯誤的文化。
