Shorter was (as usual) both metaphorical and direct. “It’s a little thing we call trust and faith,” he said. “To me, the definition of faith is to fear nothing.”
If there is one immortal distinction Shorter can certainly claim, it’s that of being jazz’s all-time greatest aphorist. That’s not an easily earned title, in a music community full of philosophers. Blakey, for one, famously said that jazz “washes away the dust of everyday life.” Davis reminded us that it’s about “the notes you don’t play.”

That grounded maxim
So rife and celebrated in the mouths
Of wisest men: that to the public good

但認為這是陳水扁施政造成的，陳下臺問題就解決的看法很「民粹」。怎樣解決，宋先生典型的說法是：「不要意識形態治國」才能搞好經濟，怎樣不意識形態呢？就是不要「島國鎖國」而要投入「全球化」趕快開放對中國投資通商。宋這一整套說法－－認定「兩邊一國」保證天下太平，其實才是典型的意識形態治國。

"Aphorism — the English version, anyway, in which there is no event or moment that cannot be made into a droll maxim of one sort or another — is at the heart of 'Who's Who in Hell,'" writes Sifton.
