金钱和艺术并不是对立的。

To create is to breathe life into the inanimate.

Writing is a way of living, a way of being in the world.

【译文】 孔子说：“外表威严而内心怯懦的人，用小人作比喻，就象挖墙洞的小偷吧！”

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.
