艺术的本质功能是道德的。但这是激情、含蓄的道德，不是说教的。这种道德改变的是血液，而不是思想。

The true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

The only thing that separates successful people from the ones who aren’t is the willingness to work really hard and to be really brave.

I'm not interested in competing with anyone. I hope we all make it.
