世界是什么，各家有各家之言。所以世界是一个多维体，人人都有自己的角度。

可是，定义一个人是天才还是疯子又有什么真正的标准呢?

就像《越狱》里面的Charies Patoshik(查里斯·帕多西)，他是唯一一人看出来主角Michael J Scofield(迈克尔·斯科菲尔德)身上的纹身是一张神秘地图，并且还能过目不忘，然而他却被诊断为精神病人，而Scofield却是天才。

对于这个问题，相信高铭编著的这本《天才在左疯子在右》会给你一个近乎完美的答案。

《天才在左疯子在右》是国内第一本具有人文情怀的精神病患谈访录。

本书以访谈录的形式记载了生活在另一个角落的人群(精神病患者、心理障碍者等边缘人)深刻、视角独特的所思所想，让人们可以了解到疯子抑或天才真正的内心世界。

内容涉及生理学、心理学、佛学、宗教、量子物理、符号学以及玛雅文明和预言等众多领域。

本文选取了其中一些经典语录供大家品读。

尝试着用唯物的角度去理解：瞬间就是永恒。

If you try to understand the world in a dialectics way, you will find that ephemeral is eternal.

流逝的不是时间，是我们。

Time doesn`t go by, we do.

习惯只是借口，不是理由。

Habit is only an excuse not a reason.

指间的戒指不再闪亮

婚纱在衣柜早就尘封

我们的容颜都已慢慢地苍老

但那份心情，却依旧没有改变

感谢你带给我的每一天

正是因为你

我才有勇气说

“永远，永远”

On the finger the ring stops sparkling

In the wardrobe the wedding dress has been dusted

Our beauty fades away

But the feeling remains the same

Thank you for every day of your company

It is because of you

That I have the courage to say

The word “forever”

只有当你认真地去做一件事的时候，才会发现自己的灵魂，和灵魂深处。

Only when you devote yourself into a thing, can you find your soul and the recesses of your heart.

其实我们很多习以为常的东西，本身就有点儿问题的，但是没人发现。

There are many things that we take for granted are at question, but no one discovers the wrong.

哲学家与疯子的区别在于：一个只是在想，一个真的去做了。

The difference between philosophers and the insane lies in that: the latter only wander, while the former put thoughts into action.

埋葬一个人，意味着死亡和失去。但是埋葬一颗种子，代表着全新的生机即将开始。

Bury a man means demise and lost; while bury a seed, life and brand new beginning.

人想尽办法想知道结果，但从来不想是否能承受这个结果。

People rack their brains to find out the result but never consider whether they can bear the weight.

自从我习惯于沉迷在逻辑分析与理性辨析后，从未觉得情感竟然是如此的重要。

Ever since I concentrate myself on logical analysis and reasoning I`ve never realized the great importance of sentiment.

真正的信仰，能包容所有的方式，能容纳所有的形式。

True faith is all inclusive despite of its way, its form.

无数人希望得到永生的眷顾，

用各种方式去追求

——真身不腐，意志不灭。

但是没人意识到，

永生，

也许只是个孤独的存在。

That numerous people want an eternal life,

And try to achieve that by hook or by crook

---Have the body and brain cryogenically frozen

But no one realizes that

Immortality,

May be a cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.

生和死，不重要，重要的是去尊重生命;生命是否高贵不重要，重要的是尊重自己的存在;

在自己还有生命的时候，在自己还存在的时候，带着自己那颗人类的心，永不停息的追寻那个答案。

有没有答案，不重要，重要的是要充满期待。

还记得潘多拉盒子里的最后一件礼物吗?对!是希望。

What matters is not life or death but to value your life; whether you are highborn or not.

What`s important is to appreciate your existence; when you are alive, remember to incessantly explore the answer with your heart.

If you don`t find the answer, don`t worry. Always full of hope makes a difference.

Do you still remember what the last present in Pandora`s box is? Yeah, it`s hope.

最精彩的其实就是世界本身.

The most marvellous part of the world is the world itself.

有时候眼睛看到的，还真不一定就是真实的。

Seeing is not necessarily believing.

所以杀人到底是对错的概念不是你决定的，而是你所在的群体决定的。你的群体赋予你杀人的权利了，你就可以杀。不给你杀人的权利，你杀人是要受惩罚的。因为你没有杀人牌照。

Your community, not yourself, justifies murder. You can kill people if they grant you the right, otherwise

you`ll be punished in that you don`t have the killer license.

我喜欢这个新兴的世界，而不是习惯的世界。 每个人都有权利选择自喜好，而不是必须跟别人一样的态度。

I like this new lively world rather than the stereotypical one. Because in the new one everyone can have the freewill to choose what they desire and doesn`t have to follow the suit.

孩子有时候能一眼看透本质。正是因为经验和阅历不足，孩子的本能更强烈些。

Sometimes children can see through things. Just as they aren't sophisticated enough, they have stronger instinct.

太多人在乎功利，而不愿意静下心来做一些无涉利益而真正有意义的事。然而，精神病人能，这不能不说是讽刺。

Too many people care too much about utility to make a downshift rather than do something meaningful but of no benefit. But it`s a certain irony in the fact that psychopaths can.
