Virtues are acquired through endeavor, which rests wholly upon yourself.
美德是通过努力获得的，这完全取决于你自己。
I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.
写作是一种孤独的职业，但孤独是作家的朋友。
世界上最美好和最美丽的东西是看不见甚至摸不着的——它们必须用心去感受。
宽恕属于受伤者；但作恶者永不宽恕。
史记
We are the real countries, not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men.
美德与伟大不能兼得。
