But　purpose　is　not　enough。　Artists　are　supposed　to　be　notoriously　impractical；　but　for　myself；　I　found　I　had　to　make　decisions　and　plans　if　I　were　to　try　to　create　anything。　I　realized　that　I　must　approach　life　not　only　with　a　sensitivity；　a　perception　of　beauty；　but　with　a　feeling　of　humility　and　reverence。

My　creed　as　an　artist　is　to　love　life　and　liberty　and　the　world　of　people。　A　man　who　works　and　loves　his　work　is　often　a　man　dreaming；　and　the　spirit　of　his　dreams　will　find　forms　and　symbols　to　express　that　dream。　It　is　a　wonderful　feeling　to　create　something。　But　today；　I　think　there　is　a　lack　of　power　of　munication。　If　people；　not　just　artists；　but　all　kinds　of　people；　could　only　open　their　hearts　and　express　their　sorrow；　their　happiness；　their　fears　and　hopes；　they　would　discover　they　had　an　identity　with　the　main　stream　of　life　which　they　never　saw　before。

Sometimes　fear　and　cynicism　so　grip　our　minds　that　we　lose　heart。　Then　I　try　to　remember　how　the　great　artists　of　the　ages　had　the　power　of　expressiveness。　Theirs　was　the　power　to　municate；　to　exalt；　to　move　the　observer　to　joy　or　tears；　to　strike　terror　and　awe　in　the　hearts　of　men；　not　just　to　decorate　or　merely　entertain。

If　we　can　expand　the　boundaries　of　men’s　thoughts　and　beliefs；　we　will　discover　we　all　have　creative　possibilities—talents　to　make　ourselves　real　identities　as　individuals；　with　a　hold　on　the　thread　of　immortality。　If　we　can　awaken　ourselves　to　it；　I　am　convinced　we　shall　find　that　this　is　an　alive　and　exciting　age　of　adventure　and　experimentation　from　which　a　new　beauty　and　a　finer　world　will　emerge。

修補破損之處（1）

大衛？達拉斯？瓊斯博士

無論我們能否認識到這點，每個人的人生都與某種基礎的核心思想密切相連。倘若有人問我，我的生命與工作基於何種觀念？我覺得它們非常簡單。“一分耕耘，一分收穫。”這是我的一位老教授過去常說的話。他說：“除了死亡之外，世
