我喜欢这个功利的世界

坏事有多坏，取决于你自己。同样是踩到一坨狗屎，有人觉得自己走了狗屎运，搞不好要发财了，于是暗爽；有人觉得狗屎这么脏，自己倒了血霉，于是沮丧……你看，你开不开心，不是屎决定的，是你怎么看待这坨屎

如何正确吵架

“你让我的生命变得完整。”“没有你我就活不下去。”浪漫吗？不，这些陈词滥调可能听起来浪漫，但如果相信它们，那么你还没有完全具备发展深层亲密关系的情绪能力。如果你觉得自己并不完整，想找个人来让你变完整，那么你并没有独立人格。

就像深海里的鱼都是瞎子，沙漠里的动物都很耐渴一样，我是一个怎样的人，很大程度上是由我所处的环境，而不是由我的所谓本性决定的。其实我在当时就察觉到，工作中的处境正在一点点地改变我，令我变得更急躁易怒，更没有责任心，总之做不到原本我对自己的要求，而且也不想做到了。

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.
