衡量一个文明的标准是它如何对待其作家。
Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
译文：用镜子照自己，可以看见形体容貌，用心性照自己，可以遇见祸福吉凶。赏析：为人处世，我们要多思考自己的言行是否得当，多想想自己的举止是否会得罪他人。凡事都要反躬自省，以免招致祸患。
阅读的行为和写作的行为一样具有创造性。
I love man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage.
