没有所谓的中立艺术。

I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.

Monsieur, vous êtes de la merde dans un bas de soie.

Only by working harder than others can you be more successful than others.

天下不怕没有能臣，怕的是没有君主去使用他们；天下不怕没有财货，怕的是无人去管理它们。

比较是幸福的最大杀手。如果一定要比较，就拿昨天的自己作为比较对象。
