学者当以立诚为本，修辞为末。
做学问的人应当以确立诚信为根本，修饰言辞为次要。
I don't care about the money, I care about the music.
A miner's safety should never be measured in cost-benefit analyses.
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity—it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.
不要过于自信，要始终保持对未知事物的敬畏。
真正的文学不害怕面对现实，无论现实多么残酷。
