The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.

  • -- Isaac Bashevis Singer 艾萨克·巴什维斯辛格

文学的本质是情感与理智的战争,是生与死的战争。当文学变得过于理智——当它开始忽视激情、情感——它就会变得枯燥、愚蠢,而且实际上没有实质内容。
