I could never tell where inspiration begins and impulse leaves off. I suppose the answer is in the outcome. If your hunch proves a good one, you were inspired; if it proves bad, you are guilty of yielding to thoughtless impulse.

  • -- Beryl Markham 马卡姆

我不知道灵感从何而来,冲动又从何而止。我想答案就在结果中。如果你的预感不错,你就会受到鼓舞;如果它被证明是坏的,你就会因屈服于轻率的冲动而感到内疚。
