604. If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water. 如果一个作家对他写的东西了解的很多的话,他反而会有所遗漏。冰山的可贵之处在于只有九分之一的部分是浮在水面之上的。
605. I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it. 我懂了一个道理:永远不要倒空我的创作之井,但当创作之井还有一些水的时候应该停止,然后让夜晚补给它的泉水自行将其注满。
607.Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war. 每当我们开始一场战争只有一件事能做。那就是赢得战争。因为失败所带来的后果比由战争引起的任何一件事都要可怕。
615.The key is not the will to win. Everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important. 最重要的不是获胜的决心——每个人都拥有这种决心——为获胜作准备的决心才最重要。——Bobby Knight
