Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.

-- Fran Lebowitz 弗兰·勒波维茨

很少有人有真正的艺术才能。因此，通过努力来刺激局势既不合适，也没有效果。如果你有一种强烈的，不安分的写作或绘画的冲动，只要吃点甜食，这种感觉就会过去。
