Ever since I began to compose, I have remained true to my starting principle: not to write a page because no matter what public, or what pretty girl wanted it to be thus or thus; but to write solely as I myself thought best, and as it gave me pleasure.

  • -- Felix Mendelssohn 费利克斯·门德尔松

自从我开始写作,我就一直坚持着我最初的原则:不写一页,因为无论什么公众,或什么漂亮女孩想要这样或那样;而是按照我自己认为最好的方式,按照它给我带来的快乐来写作。
