文学的唯一切实目的首先是写作的愉快劳动;其次是家人和朋友的满足;最后是实实在在的现金。
The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash.
传记的挑战不在于发现事实 - 而在于发现事实背后的意义。
Short-term gains should never compromise long-term sustainability.
