"The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame."
世界称之为不道德的书，是那些展示世界自身羞耻的书。
"The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties."
The thing we fear we bring to pass.
勇气是所有美德中最重要的，因为没有勇气，你就无法始终如一地实践其他美德。
Art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.
