It is only through fiction and the dimension of the imaginary that we can learn something real about individual experience. Any other approach is bound to be general and abstract.
只有通过虚构和想象的维度，我们才能了解个人体验的真实情况。任何其他方法都必然是通用的和抽象的。

I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that, I thought golf writers got up every morning, played a round of golf, had lunch, showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.
自从去年秋天我开始写一本书以来，我对作家的了解和欣赏越来越多。在那之前，我以为高尔夫作家每天早上起床，打一轮高尔夫，吃午餐，出现在我们最后三个洞，然后去吃晚饭。

The moving finger writes, and having written moves on. Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit, can cancel half a line of it.
移动的手指写字，写字的人继续写。你的全部虔诚和你的全部智慧，也不能抵消它的一半。

Never believe anything a writer tells you about himself. A man comes to believe in the end the lies he tells himself about himself.
永远不要相信作家告诉你的关于他自己的任何事情。一个人最终会相信他对自己说的关于自己的谎言。
