Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.

我所有的作品都源于对人类状况的挫败感。

写作就是见证人类的状况。

生命中最伟大的荣耀不在于从不跌倒，而在于每次跌倒后都能站起来。
