The idea of stopping is not unmeaningful to me. I think there might be a time when, in theory at least, you'd say, 'Well I've mostly done what I want to do.' But how could you ever prevent a few years down the line some germ of an idea getting at you and you've got to do it again?

  • -- Graham Swift 格拉汉姆·史威夫特

停止的想法对我来说并不是没有意义的。我认为,至少在理论上,你可能会说,‘嗯,我基本上已经做了我想做的事情。“但你怎么能阻止几年以后某个想法的萌芽在你身上生根发芽,而你又不得不重新来过呢?”
