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 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.
Writing is a way of bearing witness to the truth.
实现目标后的结果，远没有实现目标过程中的成长重要。在你的葬礼上，人们不会去回忆你的功绩；他们只会记得你带给他们的感觉。
当我手握权力时，我以同情、理解与仁爱之心待人，这基本就是我的一生所为。
写作就是呼吸、生活、超越身体的限制而存在。
Spiritual science does not want to overthrow the results of natural science, but to complete them.
最伟大的旅程是那些带领我们向内，深入自己灵魂的旅程。
To be Irish is to know that in the end, the world will break your heart.
