In order to understand what they need to understand, in order to write what they write, they have to be free. And yet, they aren't ever free. They are not free because they are not free of the constrictions their art puts on them.

  • -- Peter Davison 彼得·戴维森

为了理解他们需要理解的东西,为了写他们写的东西,他们必须是自由的。然而,他们从来没有自由过。他们之所以不自由,是因为他们无法摆脱艺术给他们施加的束缚。
