1、We think in Eternity, but we move slowly through Time.
我们思想着的是永恒，但慢慢通过的却是时间。

2、Prisonlife, with its endless privations and restrictions, makes one rebellious. The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one’s heart—hearts are made to be broken—but that it turns one’s heart to stone.....In life, as in Art, the mood of rebellion closes up the channels of the soul, and shuts out the airs of heaven.
监狱生活那道不尽的艰辛、数不完的条规，使人产生叛逆心理。最可怕的不在于这令人心碎——心生来就是要碎的——而在于这使人心变成石头……生活同艺术一样，叛逆的心境使灵魂闭塞， 将灵气堵住。

3、Every single work of art is the fulfilment of a prophecy. For every work of art is the conversion of an idea into an image. Every single human being should be the fulfilment of a prophecy. For every human being should be the realisation of some ideal, either in the mind of God or in the mind of man.
每一件艺术品都是一个预言的实现，因为每一件艺术品都是理念向形象的转化。人类的每一分子都应该成为一个预言的实现，因为每一个人，无论是在上帝还是在人的心中，都应该是某个理想的实现。

4、Love was that lost secret of the world for which the wise men had been looking, and it was only through love that one could approach either the heart of the leper or the feet of God.
爱就是世界失去的那个真意，贤哲在寻找的那个真意；只有通过爱， 一个人才能到达麻风病人心间， 或上帝跟前。

5、Life was changeful, fluid, active, and that to allow it to be stereotyped into any form was death.
生活是变化的、流动的、积极的，让它僵化成为任何形式都意味着死亡。
