The limits of the inhabited world are determined by the extent of human knowledge.
有人居住的世界的界限是由人类知识的范围决定的。
——1963年6月25日在西德市政厅柏林墙前的演说
We Irish are too poetical to be poets; we are a nation of brilliant failures, but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks.
When you live for others' opinions, you are dead.
Suspend judgment， and you alone will be unperturbed.
写作就是直面我们内心的未知。
