Statues and pictures and verse may be grand, But they are not the Life for which they stand.

The whole purpose of writing a book is to be understood - if other people write about you, they try to guess why you did things, or they hear things from other people.
写一本书的全部目的就是要让人理解——如果别人写你，他们会试图猜测你为什么要这么做，或者他们从别人那里听到了什么。

To write music is to raise a ladder without a wall to lean it against. There is no scaffolding: the building under construction is held in balance only by the miracle of a kind of internal logic, an innate sense of proportion.
创作音乐就像扶起一架没有墙支撑的梯子。这里没有脚手架:在建的建筑只有通过一种内在逻辑的奇迹，一种天生的比例感，才能保持平衡。
