Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.

  • -- Walter Benjamin 沃尔特·本杰明

在所有获取书籍的方法中,自己写书被认为是最值得称赞的方法。作家真的是那些写书的人,不是因为他们穷,而是因为他们不满意那些他们可以买到但不喜欢的书。
