把这一句，留给此刻的你

It is the artist's function not to copy but to synthesise: to eliminate from that gross confusion of actuality which is his raw material whatever is accidental, idle, irrelevant, and select for perpetuation that only which is appropriate and immortal.

艺术家的职责不是复制，而是综合:从作为他原材料的现实的混乱中消除任何偶然的、空闲的、无关紧要的东西，并选择只有恰当的和不朽的东西来永存。

— William Ernest Henley 威廉姆·恩内斯特·亨里
