我不喜欢正经的小说。在正经小说里，人们会说这样的话：“我的血管里流淌着铁、银和普通的泥土。我无法像那些不依赖刺激的人那样握紧拳头。”这是什么意思？我不知道。父亲也不知道。写这些书的人也不知道。
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.
I paint not to escape reality, but to confront it.
The key to credible causal inference is not just the method, but how well the method fits the question at hand.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
我不是那种会让对我动力的爱减少的人。
