龙与少年游

不过有时候我想也许这是真的，就像蝴蝶效应，古人亦云大风起于青萍之末。释家说缘起，我深以为然。

草坪的复仇

莱博维茨的赞歌

但为何一切又要重演？答案就在耳边，伊甸园的蛇仍在嘶嘶低语：因为神知道你们吃了这果子，眼睛就会明亮，你们便如神能知善恶。这位谎言的始祖在混淆真假上可谓聪明绝顶：不涉足邪恶，如何“知”善恶？吃了果子便如神，可纵使拥有了无尽的力量和无穷的智慧，人也无法获得神性。只因没有无穷的爱。

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.
