For that reason you can't write with music playing, and anyone who says he can is either writing badly, or not listening to the music, or lying. You need to hear what you're writing, and for that you need silence.
因为这个原因，你不能边听音乐边写作，而任何说他能写的人要么写得很差，要么没听音乐，要么在说谎。你需要听到你在写什么，为此你需要安静。

Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity, because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity.

帮助运气的是一种寻找机会的习惯，一种耐心而不安分的心态，一种牺牲安逸或虚荣心的习惯，一种把对细节的热爱与远见结合起来的习惯，一种勇敢而快乐地度过艰难时刻的习惯。
