成功是一个糟糕的老师，它诱使聪明人认为他们不会失败。

晏子春秋

The artist must be free, even from himself.

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.
