chapter one

1. In my opinion, the most interesting thing about art is the artist's personality; If an artist is endowed with a unique personality, I can forgive him even if he has a thousand shortcomings.

To tell the truth, it is actually a ridiculous misunderstanding to regard art as an artistic skill that only famous craftsmen can fully understand. What is art? Art is the expression of feelings, and art uses a language that everyone can understand.

It reminds people of a calm river, winding through lush pastures, shaded by shade, and finally pouring into the vast sea. But the sea is always so calm and silent, and you will suddenly feel uneasy.

1. I can't figure out whether she wants her husband back because she loves him or is afraid of others' comments. I also doubt whether the pain of lovelorn love that broke her heart is also mixed with the sadness of vanity damage; This suspicion also confuses me. I didn't know how contradictory human nature was at that time. I don't know how much affectation there is in sincerity, how much meanness there is in nobility, and even virtue can be found in evil.

His life seems to be a tragedy written in that farce format. (Stroeve)

Chapter 19

"Why do you think beauty-the most precious wealth in the world-will be picked up by a casual passer-by like a stone on the beach? Beauty is a wonderful and peculiar thing, and artists can only be shaped from the chaos of the universe through the painful torture of their souls. After beauty is created, not everyone can recognize it. To understand it, we must repeat the adventures experienced by artists. He sang you a beautiful melody.

To some extent, their life is like an idyll with a unique aesthetic feeling. The absurdity and absurdity of Dyke Stroeve's words and deeds will add a strange tone to this pastoral, like an irreconcilable disharmony, but it will make this music more modern and humanized, like inserting a vulgar translation into a serious scene, which will further intensify the sharpness of beauty. (Stroeve's married life)

Chapter 29

I think in the matter of love, if you consider self-esteem, there can only be one reason: in fact, you still love yourself the most.

Chapter 30

1. She has never had any feelings for her husband. I used to think that she loved Stroeve, but it was just a natural reaction caused by a man's caress and comfort in life. Most women regard this reaction as love. This is a passive feeling, which can be produced by anyone, just as vines can climb any tree. Because this feeling can make a girl marry any man who needs her, I believe that love will come to this person with the passage of time, so secular opinions determine its power. But in the end, what is this feeling? It's just a sense of satisfaction with a guaranteed life, a sense of pride in owning family assets, a sense of complacency for people who need themselves, and a sense of complacency for building their own family. Women are kind-hearted and vain, so they think this kind of feeling is full of spiritual value. But in the face of impulsive enthusiasm, this feeling is defenseless.

He has neither gratitude nor sympathy. Those feelings shared by most of us don't exist in him; If you blame him for not having these feelings, it is as absurd as blaming the tiger for being cruel.

I can't believe Strickland is in love with Blanche Stroeve. I don't believe this person will fall in love with someone at all. The main ingredient of love is tenderness, but Strickland doesn't know how to be gentle to himself or others. Love needs a feeling of weakness, a request for consideration and love, and a passion for helping and pleasing others-if not selflessness, at least selfishness that is cleverly concealed; Love contains a certain degree of shyness and fear of Confucianism.

Love takes up a great deal of energy. Need a person to leave his life to be a lover.

Even the clearest-headed person may know from the truth, but in fact, he will not admit that love will come to an end one day. Love gives substance to the illusory things he knows. He knows all this is just a mirage, but his love for it is far more than the truth.

2. He is kind and generous, but he keeps joking; He loves beautiful things from the heart, but he can only create mediocre things. His feelings are delicate, but his manners are vulgar. He is good at dealing with other people's affairs, but his own affairs are a mess. When nature created this man. What a cruel joke it is to put so many contradictory qualities on him and let him face the cold world that plagues him.

Chapter 38

"The world is ruthless and cruel. No one knows anything when we are born, and no one knows where to go after we die. We must be modest. We must see the beauty of loneliness. In life, we must not show off, get ahead and attract the attention of fate. Let's seek the love of those simple people. Their ignorance is far more valuable than our knowledge. Let's keep silent, be content with our own small world, and be as meek as they are. This is the wisdom of life. "

Chapter 4 1

1. I guess Shakespeare is more interested in creating himself than conceiving Desdemona through moonlight and fantasy. Perhaps when a writer portrays a villain, he is actually satisfying his inner nature, because in a civilized society, customs and etiquette force this nature to hide under the most secretive bottom of the subconscious; Giving his fictional characters flesh and blood, that is, giving life to his unexposed self. The satisfaction he got was freedom and liberation.

This writer cares more about understanding human nature than judging it.

4. "I don't need love. I have no time to love. This is the weakness of human nature. I am a man, and sometimes I need a woman. But once my desire is satisfied, I'm ready to do something else. I can't overcome my desire. I hate it because it imprisons my spirit. I hope that one day in the future, I will no longer be dominated by desire and devote myself to my work without hindrance. Because women can't do anything but love, they regard love as very important and ridiculous. They also want us to believe that all human life is love. In fact, love is a trivial part of life. I only know desire. This is normal and healthy. Love is a disease. Women are my tools for enjoyment, and I am disgusted with their requirements for career assistants and life partners. "

5. "If a woman falls in love with you, she will not be satisfied unless she has your soul. Because women are weak, they have a very strong desire to rule and are unwilling to completely control you. Women are narrow-minded and very disgusted with abstract things that they cannot understand. They are full of material things, so they are very jealous of spirit and ideals. A man's soul is invited to travel to the farthest part of the universe, but a woman wants to imprison it in the account book of family income and expenditure.

6. She doesn't care about me at all. All she wants is for me to be attached to her. For me, she would do anything in the world except one thing: leave me alone. "

Chapter 42

Each of us is lonely in this world. Everyone is imprisoned in an iron tower and can only communicate with others through some symbols; But these symbols have no common value, so their meanings are vague and uncertain. It is pitiful that we pass on the wealth in our hearts to others, but they are unable to accept it. So we can only walk alone. Although our bodies are very close, we are not together. We can neither understand others nor be understood by others.

Chapter 43

Generally speaking, love is just an episode for men and one of many things in daily life, but the novel exaggerates love, gives it an important position and violates the truth of life. Although a few men in the world regard love as a top priority, these people are often boring people; Even a woman who is infinitely interested in love has a low opinion of such a man. Women will be attracted by such men and flattered by them, but they will inevitably feel uneasy inside-these people are poor creatures. Even in a short period of love, men keep doing other things to distract themselves: making a living attracts their attention; They are addicted to sports activities; They may also be interested in art. As lovers, the difference between men and women is that women can fall in love all day and all night, while men can only do this sometimes.

Chapter 53

On our island of Bao Mortes, the night here has never been so quiet. There are 1000 kinds of small animals rustling at the seaside. All kinds of small things with shells will never stop crawling around, and crabs living on land will also climb over. Sometimes you can hear fish jumping in the saltwater lake, and at other times, a brown shark will scare other fish to run around and make the lake splash. However, what drowns all this noise is the rumble of the sea beating against the rocks, which will not end like time. But there is no sound here, and the air is full of the fragrance of white flowers that open at night. The night here is so beautiful that your soul seems to be unable to stand the bondage of the body. You feel that your soul may drift to the ethereal space at any time, and the face of death is as familiar as your dear friend.

Chapter 54

1. Most people are not what they want to be, but what they have to be.

2. "Strickland is fascinated by a desire to create, and he is eager to create beauty. This passion made him restless for a moment. Forced him to run around. He seems to be a lifelong pilgrim, always longing for a holy place. The devil lurking in his heart has no mercy on him. Some people in the world are eager to find the truth, and their demands are very strong. In order to achieve this goal, it is even necessary for them to completely subvert the foundation of life. Strickland is such a person; It's just that he pursues beauty, not truth. For people like him, I feel pity from the heart. "
