I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
我会告诉你我会做什么和不会做什么。我不会再为我所不再相信的东西服务，无论它自称是我的家、我的祖国还是我的教会：我将尽力以某种生活或艺术的方式自由而完整地表达自己，用我允许自己使用的唯一武器来保护自己——沉默、流放和狡黠。
