A great number of the disappointments and mishaps of the troubled world are the direct result of literature and the allied arts. It is our belief that no human being who devotes his life and energy to the manufacture of fantasies can be anything but fundamentally inadequate.

  • -- Christopher James Hampton 克里斯托弗·詹姆斯·汉普顿
