“[Maugham is] a great artist . . . a genius.” –Theodore Dreiser
“[Maugham’s] excessively rare gift of story-telling . . . is almost the equal of imagination itself.” –

“It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham. . . . He was always so entirely
there.” –Gore Vidal
“Maugham remains the consummate craftsman. . . . [His writing is] so compact, so economical, so closely motivated, so skillfully written, that it rivets attention from the first page to last.” –

几乎所有追求终极真理的人,最后都会归结到理性和精神的满足。物质和肉体的满足太容易得到和实现,因此无法持久,富足的人并不一定幸福快乐,这已经众所周知。当然,一直处于贫困的人除非获得饱暖,否则无法理解上面这句话。但是当人得到了满意的物质条件,会发现就算他继续拥有更多的物质,也无法使幸福感相应增加,幸福感反而会降低也说不定。 因此通往真正幸福的道路不在这里。花生在吃了三天的生煎小笼之后就不觉得它们多么好吃了。
