真正的艺术家宁愿让妻子挨饿、孩子赤脚、七十岁的老母为生计操劳，也不愿做艺术以外的工作。
The true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.
孤独并不是来自身边无人。感到孤独的真正原因是因为一个人无法与他人交流对其最要紧的感受。
【译文】 孔子说：“《诗经》三百首，用一句话可以概括，即：‘思想纯洁’。”
Never stop believing in yourself.
伟大的艺术总是承载着巨大的痛苦。
