任何地方的不公正都是对于正义的威胁。
写作是唯一一件当我做它时，我不觉得我应该在做其他事情的事情。
【译文】他人骑大马我骑毛驴，仔细想想，我不如他，回头看了一下，还有不如我徒步肩挑的人呢。
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.
The past is a teacher, if we are willing to learn.
