美人何处

她曾向往的光明未来，她等待了十八年，却只拥有了十八天，而这十八天，不是用来享受的，而是心灰意冷，彻悟前尘

少室六门

色不自色。由心故色。心不自心。由色故心。是知心色两相俱有生灭。有者有于无。无者无于有。是名真见。夫真见者。无所不见。亦无所见。见满十方。未曾有见。何以故。无所见故。见无见故。见非见故。凡夫所见。皆名妄想。若寂灭无见。始名真见。心境相对。见生于中。若内不起心。则外不生境。故心境俱净。乃名为真见。作此解时。乃名正见。不见一切法。乃名得道。不解一切法。乃名解法。

你要么出众，要么出局

Stand out or get out.

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.
