To love playthings well as a child, to lead an adventurous and honourable youth, and to settle when the time arrives, into a green and smiling age, is to be a good artist in life and deserve well of yourself and your neighbour.
童年尽情喜爱玩具,青春勇于冒险而不失正直,时机到来时安享仍有生机、面带微笑的晚年——这样才是善于经营人生的艺术家,才无愧于自己与他人。
— Robert Louis Stevenson · Virginibus Puerisque, and Other Papers · Crabbed Age and Youth —
