我经常被问及我的剧本是如何产生的。我说不出来。我也无法向自己解释它们的意思。

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.

艺术家的角色是提出问题，而不是给出答案。

城市是一个伟大的人工制品，是人类文明的最高作品。

译文：人必须在事情上磨炼，才能立得住;才能做到安静时也安定，行动时也安定。
