The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one... If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is worth any number of old ladies.
作家的唯一责任是对他的艺术负责。如果他是个好作家,他会完全无情...如果一个作家必须抢劫他的母亲,他不会犹豫;
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
过去从未死去。它甚至还未过去。
Stay true to yourself and never let success change who you are.
我不相信运气,我相信准备。
