[知識和創意的世界]
時間在空間之中消逝，
但人類亦可以在時間之中創造空間。
生活在「知識和創意世界」的人，擁抱理想，
懂得善用他們的時間來創造他們的空間：
The desire to fly is an idea handed down
to us by our ancestors who…looked enviously
on the birds soaring freely through space…
on the infinite highway of the air.
( Wilbur Wright )
他們懂得要求「進步的空間」：
There is always space for improvement,
no matter how long you’ve been in the business.
( Oscar De La Hoya )
生活在「知識和創意的世界」及「感官的世界」的人，
是文明社會的藝術家，
當知識、創意和藝術應用在建築物之上，
我們就看到了人類「創造出來的空間」。
建築學 Architecture 就是研究和學習如何運用
「空間、光源、建築材料和創意」。
所有偉大的建築物，都是建築師創造出他們自己心目中覺得
「會令人震撼和喜愛的感官空間」：
Space has always been the spiritual dimension
of architecture. It is not the physical statement
of the structure so much as what it contains
that moves us.
( Arthur Erickson )
The characteristic of great innovators and
great companies is they see a space that
others do not. They don’t just listen to
what people tell them;
they actually invent something new,
something that you didn’t know you needed,
but the moment you see it,
you say, ‘I must have it.’
( Eric Schmidt )
[音樂]
至於音樂，雖然也是一種創造時間和空間的藝術，
但由於音樂涉及「我 ego」及「心靈 soul」
會出現程度上的差別，所以並不容易討論。
不同性格的人會傾向於聽不同種類的音樂。
而每一個時代都會流行不同種類的音樂，
反映出該時代的思想和意識形態，
所以《韓非子》指出有「靡靡之音」，
而《禮記。樂記》又提出有「亡國之音」。
True music must repeat the thought and
inspirations of the people and the time.
( George Gershwin )
「商女不知亡國恨，隔江猶唱後庭花。」
《泊秦淮》(杜牧)
There are more love songs than anything else.
If songs could make you do something
we’d all love one another.
( Frank Zappa )
Composers shouldn’t think too much ─
it interferes with their plagiarism.
( Howard Dietz )
由於作曲家在心靈路途上的差異，
音樂不一定神聖，不一定能夠成為經典。
音樂可以用來消遣，可以用來逃避，可以是避難所，
但音樂是否有治療能力，能否改變世界，
諯視乎該種音樂是 ego 音樂 還是 心靈音樂。
Music should strike fire from the heart of man,
and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
( Ludwig van Beethoven )
Without [good] music life would be a mistake.
( Friedrich Nietzsche )
Too many pieces of music finish too long
after the end.
( Igor Stravinsky )
也許能夠欣賞心靈音樂的人需要培育智慧。
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom:
the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
( Walter Lippmann )
筆者這種音樂外行的人，尤其不應置喙。
One must always distinguish
between natural sound and unnatural noise,
between merely sound and good music.
( Jason Ling )
Only sick music makes money today.
( Friedrich Nietzsche, in 1888 )
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
( George Bernard Shaw )
