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.
我要告诉你我要做什么，以及我不做什么。我不会再为我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。我要尽力通过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捍卫自己——沉默、流亡和狡黠。
世界是生者的地方，死者在其中没有位置。
流放不仅仅是一个地理概念；你可以在自己的国家、自己的家庭、自己的皮肤里成为流放者。
我们是我们反复做的事情。因此，卓越不是一种行为，而是一种习惯。
We think in order to adapt.
I think it's important to be able to have a sense of humor about life.
