The statesman， who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals， would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention but assume an authority which could safely be trusted， not only to no single person， but to no council or senate whatever， and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.

我不是来追求完美的，我是来诚实的。

我会告诉你我会做什么和不会做什么。我不会再为我所不再相信的东西服务，无论它自称是我的家、我的祖国还是我的教会：我将尽力以某种生活或艺术的方式自由而完整地表达自己，用我允许自己使用的唯一武器来保护自己——沉默、流放和狡黠。

I don't care about money. I just want to create.

El tiempo es un río que me arrebata, pero yo soy el río.
