To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.
The beauty of literature lies in its ability to capture the ineffable, to give form to the formless.
文学的美在于它能够捕捉不可言喻的东西，给无形的东西以形式。
What we know is little, and what we are ignorant of is immense.
A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is.
