文学是个人与普遍之间的桥梁，将个人经验与集体人类状况连接起来。

做出伟大工作的唯一途径就是热爱你所做的事。

【译文】 孔子说：“理想无法实现了，我准备乘筏漂到海上。会跟我走的，只有子路吧？”

舞台上的每一夜都是与人们灵魂连接的机会。

译文：挥动衣袖，风卷起红尘，白昼变得昏暗；汗水如雨，道路泥泞难行。

A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.

如果我们从一开始就能预见，甚至证明，遵循某种方法我们将达到我们的目标，那么这种解决方法就是完美的。
