意識流文學(xué)的代表人物
You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important.
藝術(shù)家并不重要。只有他創(chuàng)造的東西才重要。
I never know what I think about something until I read what I've written on it.
我從來不知道我對某事的看法，直到我讀到我寫的東西。
Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
讀，讀，讀。讀所有東西——垃圾、經(jīng)典、好的和壞的，看看他們是怎么做的。就像一個當學(xué)徒的木匠研究大師一樣。讀！你會吸收它。然后寫。如果它是好的，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)。如果不好，就把它扔出窗外。
Time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.
時間在被小齒輪滴答作響時是死的；只有當鐘停止時，時間才會復(fù)活。
The saddest thing about love is that not only that it cannot last forever, but that heartbreak is soon forgotten.
關(guān)于愛情最悲哀的事情不僅是它不能永遠持續(xù)，而且心碎很快就會被遺忘。
To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.
要理解世界，你必須首先理解像密西西比這樣的地方。
The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then.
作家唯一的責(zé)任就是對他的藝術(shù)負責(zé)。如果他是優(yōu)秀的作家，他會完全無情。他有一個夢想。這讓他非常痛苦，他必須擺脫它。在此之前，他無法安寧。
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
我是個失敗的詩人。也許每個小說家都想先寫詩，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己做不到，然后嘗試短篇小說，這是詩歌之后要求最高的形式。如果連這都失敗了，他才會轉(zhuǎn)向?qū)懶≌f。
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
每個藝術(shù)家的目標都是用人為的手段來捕捉運動（即生命），并將其固定，以便一百年后，當一個陌生人看著它時，它又動了起來，因為它就是生命。
Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.
