Sometimes the simplest questions lead to the deepest theories.

作家必须有勇气面对真相，无论它有多么痛苦。

——1912年在旧金山丽蝉戏院的演说

"I like to draw ordinary people doing ordinary things."

应对恐惧的唯一方法是直面它。

"The novel is the great democratic art form. It's the one place where you can be anyone, do anything, and say anything."

Sometimes the simplest things are the most powerful.
