Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.

  • -- George Orwell 乔治·奥威尔

长时间、不分青红皂白地读书是一项特别吃力不讨好、令人恼火和筋疲力尽的工作。它不仅包括赞美垃圾，还包括不断地对那些没有任何自然感觉的书做出反应。

我很早就发现了评论。它们大多是悲伤的人在糟糕的下午写的。这可能就是为什么我没有一些作家那么愤怒的原因，他们是如此自恋，他们认为每一篇评论的每一行，甚至是一个深思熟虑的评论，都是重大的背叛。
