In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for "finding himself." If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them - unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event.
在我的世界里，历史可以归结为语言和艺术。没有人太在意曾经打过什么仗，谁赢了谁输了——除非有一幅画、一出戏、一首歌或一首诗讲述了这个事件。
The purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation; that away, Men are but gilded loam, or painted clay. A jewel in a ten-times barred-up chest Is a bold spirit in a loyal breast. Mine honour is my life. Both grow in one. Take honour from me, and my life is done.
人世间最纯粹的财富是清白的名声;从这个意义上说，人不过是镀金的壤土，或彩绘的粘土。珠宝镶在十倍于珠宝的胸中，是忠诚之心的勇敢精神。我的荣誉就是我的生命。两者合而为一。夺去我的尊荣，我的生命就完结了。
