写作是抵抗历史的抹去。

I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing.

世界所有前进的动力都归功于不安分的人。快乐的人不可避免地把自己限制在古老的界限内。

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.

想法是做出看起来像别的东西的东西。
