唯一真正的智慧在于知道自己一无所知。
人不是为了自己而活,而是为了某人而活,才能找到真正的自我。
引用沙皇亚历山大三世的名言并多次公开重申
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.
写作是一种勇气的行为,是与自我和世界的对抗。
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
