I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
我要告诉你我要做什么，以及我不做什么。我不会再为我不再相信的东西服务，无论它自称是我的家、我的祖国还是我的教会。我要尽力通过某种生活或艺术的方式，自由而完整地表达自己，用我允许自己使用的唯一武器来捍卫自己——沉默、流亡和狡黠。
不期望完全效法古代，不墨守一成不变的旧规，研究当代的实际情况，从而采取相应的措施。
我相信创造的激情，相信梦想比现实更有力量。
