一个人应该学会发现和观察自己内心深处闪烁的微弱的光亮，而不仅仅是注意诗人和圣贤者辉耀天空的光彩。他也不可忽视自己的思想，因为它是他自己的。在天才的每个作品中，我们都会看到我们自己抛弃了的想法；但当它们回到我们这里时却带上了某种陌生的崇高感。艺术的伟大作品并不会对我们有更多的教益。它们教导我们，当所有喊声都在另一方时，要心平气和地、坚定不移地坚持我们自己的看法。
——爱默生
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side.
--- Ralph Waldo Emerson <Self Reliance>
