Which do you want, the moon or sixpence? Do you want to chase the glory of the moon all your life and enjoy the peace and joy brought by the moon in the dark, or do you want to chase sixpence in the secular world and enjoy yourself in this world?
Strickland pursued sixpence until his middle age. He works in the stock exchange with high income, stable job and happy family.
However, he is not satisfied with such a life. He felt that he was entangled in the world and didn't want to live this life again. He was fascinated by painting, so he resolutely ran away from home, isolated from the world, looking for his favorite life and doing his favorite things.

In the process of describing the transformation of the protagonist, many words about love, genius and human nature are so powerful that many people even regard them as wise sayings, but just looking at these words, many of them are still worth discussing.
"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. It imprisoned my soul. 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. "

This is Strickland's attitude towards love. He never thinks that love is beautiful. He thinks that love will bind his artistic inspiration. Generation, as long as there is such a thing as love, his artistic spirit will degenerate. He believes that "a woman loves you, and she will not be satisfied unless your soul is taken away by her".
He said that a woman who falls in love with someone actually doesn't care about this person at all. Women just have vanity and want men to be attached to her. To put it another way, in modern times, can't you have both career and love?
"Love takes up a great deal of energy and needs a person to leave his life to be a lover".

He thinks that love takes up people's energy and time very much, so for painting, he thinks that art and love are incompatible, so he needs women occasionally, but only for his own desires.
In real life, love does occupy a part of a person's energy, but not all, just need to learn the coordination in life.
Strickland finally chose the moon between the moon and sixpence. He thinks the moon and sixpence can't have it both ways. He thinks that art and love can't have both.
