自决之书

我那些气量小的想法太多了，它们沉沉地压在我身上，像是要去犯罪带来的负担。

你好，旧时光

只能更努力。从来不要问，为什么别人轻轻松松就能做到，自己却要付出那么多？以后也不会问。

单独中的洞见

越是人多的社交场合，人与人之间就越是不可能产生真正的交流，有的只是面具与面具之间的周旋，有的只是自我的炫耀和宣泄。所以当很多人围坐在一起饮酒进餐的时候，人们看上去好像是在热烈地讨论着什么，但他们之间其实并没有在交流和沟通，他们都只是在向外扔东西。生理上他们是在进食，心理上却在向外排泄。

自深深处

You admired my work when it was finished: you enjoyed the brilliant successes of my first nights, and the brilliant banquets that followed them: you were proud, and quite naturally so, of being the intimate friend of an artist so distinguished: but you could not understand the conditions requisite for the production of artistic work. I am not speaking in phrases of rhetorical exaggeration but in terms of absolute truth to actual fact when I remind you that during the whole time we were together I never wrote one single line. Whether at Torquay, Goring, London, Florence or elsewhere, my life, as long as you were by my side, was entirely sterile and uncreative. And with but few intervals you were, I regret to say, by my side always.
