The past is never dead. It's not even past.
过去从未死去,它甚至没有过去。
过去总是在作品中显现。
The natural effort of every individual to better his own condition, when suffered to exert itself with freedom and security, is so powerful a principle that it is alone, and without any assistance, not only capable of carrying on the society to wealth and prosperity but of surmounting a hundred impertinent obstructions with which the folly of human laws too often encumbers its operations.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
没有无聊的主题,只有无聊的作家。
