艺术的工作就是驱赶丑陋。
The job of art is to chase ugliness away.
The value of an economic model lies in its ability to explain and predict.
"The most important thing in a film is the emotion it conveys."
You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.
——《致郑藻如书》（1890年）
在我的国家，要当上总统，得先待过监狱一回。
我们都希望一切保持不变。不如安于生活。
