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

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.” –

幾乎所有追求終極真理的人,最後都會歸結到理性和精神的滿足。物質和肉體的滿足太容易得到和實現,因此無法持久,富足的人並不一定幸福快樂,這已經眾所周知。當然,一直處於貧睏的人除非獲得飽暖,否則無法理解上麵這句話。但是當人得到瞭滿意的物質條件,會發現就算他繼續擁有更多的物質,也無法使幸福感相應增加,幸福感反而會降低也說不定。 因此通往真正幸福的道路不在這裏。花生在吃瞭三天的生煎小籠之後就不覺得它們多麼好吃瞭。
