For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.

  • -- Arthur Schopenhauer 亚瑟·叔本华

一个作家边写边写，就像他犯了相反的错误一样，应该受到谴责;因为这给他所说的话带来了一种迂腐的效果，同时也使他的话难以理解。
