Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.

  • -- John Milton 约翰·米尔顿

书并不是绝对没有生命的东西，但书中确实包含着生命的力量，使之像它的后代那样活跃;不，它们确实像小瓶一样，保存着孕育它们的活生生的智慧的最纯粹的效力和精华。

对任何艺术家来说，真正的风险在于将作品推向可能的极限，试图增加思考可能的总和。当书走到这条边缘时，就会变得很好;当书因为艺术家在艺术上的大胆而危及到他时，就会有掉下去的危险。
