作家的唯一责任是对他的艺术负责。如果他是个好作家,他会完全无情...如果一个作家必须抢劫他的母亲,他不会犹豫;
The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one... If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is worth any number of old ladies.
历史就是现在。这就是为什么每一代人都要重新书写它。但大多数人认为的历史是其最终产物——神话。
最大的风险是不冒任何风险。在一个快速变化的世界里,唯一注定失败的策略就是不冒险。
