作家必须相信他所做的事情是世界上最重要的事情。即使他知道这不是真的，他也必须坚持这种幻觉。
The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.

Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.
