La verdadera poesía es aquella que nos hace más humanos.

We have not yet learned to think, but we are learning.

The more you try to control art, the less alive it becomes.

小说是一种永远处于危机中、濒临消失边缘的艺术形式，而这正是它保持生命力的原因。

The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and they who have so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but their own dispositions will waste their lives in fruitless efforts.
