Essayists, like poets, are born and not made, and for one worth remembering, the world is confronted with a hundred not worth reading. Your true essayist is, in a literary sense, the friend of everybody.

  • -- William Ernest Henley 威廉姆·恩内斯特·亨里

散文家和诗人一样,是天生的而不是后天培养出来的。对于一个值得记住的人来说,这个世界面临着一百种不值得一读的东西。你真正的散文家,在文学意义上,是所有人的朋友。
