把这一句，留给此刻的你
Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.
只有在人的想象中，每一个真理才能找到一个有效的、不可否认的存在。想象，而不是发明，是生活中至高无上的艺术大师。

一种以语言为媒介的艺术总是会表现出高度的批判性创造性，因为语言本身就是对生活的一种批判:它通过创造来命名、描述、评判。

Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add.
以一种不熟悉的风格去理解一幅画或一首交响乐，去认识一位艺术家或一所学校的作品，去以一种新的方式去看或听，就像学习阅读、写作或加法一样，是一种认知上的成就。

Writing is like a lump of coal. Put it under enough pressure and polish it enough and you might just end up with a diamond. Otherwise, you can burn it to keep warm.
写作就像一块煤。把它放在足够大的压力下，打磨得足够好，最终你可能会得到一颗钻石。否则，你可以燃烧它来保暖。
