艺术是沉思。它是心灵的愉悦，心灵在自然中探寻，并在那里预见到自然本身所激发的精神。

Music is the language of the soul.

【译文】 孔子说：“君子心怀仁义，小人心怀财利。”

良心是书中之书。

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all doing direct the other way.

写作是与世界联系的一种方式。
