this is the motive and purpose of my writing; the projection of an ideal man. The portrayal of a moral ideal, as my ultimate literary goal, as an end in itself--to which any didactic, intellectual or philosophical values contained in a novel are only the means.這就是我的寫作動機和目的:‘理想人物的形象化’。對道德理想的描寫,作為我的終極文學目標——其本身是書中所含的任何說教的、理性或哲學的價值...
I mention it here for the sake of any other writer of my kind who might have to face the same battle--as a reminder of the fact that it can be done 我在此特意說起這件事,作為一個備忘錄,提醒和我同類的其他作家們——他們可能必須麵對同樣的戰役——這是可以做到的。 In a play I wrote in my early thirties, Ideal, the heroine, a screen star, speaks for me when she says: "I want to see, real, living, an...
In this respect, my attitude toward my writing is best expressed by a statement of Victor Hugo: "If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away." 關於這一點,維克多·雨果的一句話最能表達我對於自己作品的態度:“假如一個作家隻是為他自己的時代而寫作,那我就得折斷我的筆,放棄寫作了。” Certain writers, of whom I am one, do not live, think or write on the range...
Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received--hatred. The great creators--the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors--stood alone against the men of their times. E...
OK,所以托黑是一个伪装成社会主义者、民粹主义者的——什么?他的动机到底是什么?我能理解how he did it,我理解不了的是why he did it. 如果说Dominique试图毁掉Roark是因为她不允许这样纯粹的美在这个庸俗的世界上被人亵渎——which听起来是一个多么中二且cliche的观念啊——那么托黑呢?作者用整整一章写了他的童年少年青年、他的成长史发迹史,却除了他是个聪明的实用主义者、对人类心理精确的洞察者之外并未让我看到什么...
"..That's the root of every despicable action. Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self. People have no self. They live within others. They live second-hand."
"Most people go to very great lengths in order to convince themselves of their self-respect." "Yes." "And, of course, a quest for self-respect is proof of its lack." "Yes." "Do you see the meaning of a quest for self-contempt?" "That I lack it?" "And that you'll never achieve it."
"There's nothing as significant as human face. Nor as eloquent. We can never really know another person, except by our first glance at him. Because, in that glance, we know everything. Even though we're not always wise enough to unravel the knowledge. Have you ever thought about the style of a soul? ... I think, that every human soul has a style of its own. Its one basic theme. You'll see it re...
