Wanted to post it online, but YH is a step ahead of me. So I just copy and paste from his blog, lolx!

引述自爱尔兰作家James Joyce小说A Portrait Of The Artists As A Young Man里面人物Stephen Dedalus的一段话：

"You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do. I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church; and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile and cunning."

"I will also tell you what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake, and perphaps as long as eternity too."
