欲望
Desires
There is pleasure when a sore is scratched, But to be without sores is more pleasurable still. Just so, there are pleasures in worldly desires, But to be without desires is more pleasurable still.

So at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires, maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position.

I think in our time, you know, so much of the information we get is pre-polarized. Fiction has a way of reminding us that we actually are very similar in our emotions and our neurology and our desires and our fears, so I think it's a nice way to neutralize that polarization.
我认为在我们这个时代，我们得到的很多信息都是预极化的。小说有一种方式提醒我们，我们实际上在情感、神经、欲望和恐惧方面是非常相似的，所以我认为这是一种很好的方式来消除这种两极分化。
