The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.

-- Lionel Trilling 特里林

文学的功能，通过它所有的变异，一直是让我们意识到自我的特殊性，以及自我在与社会和文化的冲突中的高度权威。从这个意义上说，文学是颠覆性的。
