I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.

Psychology must always ask: How does this help the organism live?

爱不能被强迫，爱不能被哄骗和挑逗。它来自天堂，不请自来，不寻自至。

可怕的是假装二流是一流。假装你不需要爱，当你需要的时候；或者你喜欢你的工作，当你很清楚你能够做得更好时。
