True literature should be able to change the reader's life.
唯一能让双方都幸福的关系是没有感伤主义的位置,双方都不对对方的生活和自由提出任何要求的关系。
Art is the evidence of a life fully lived.
What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
