Note from Maugham's Of human bondage 人性的枷鎖

Well, what do you wish me to say to you?
Do you wish me to tell you it is good? It isn't.

Do you wish me to tell you it is well drawn? It isn't. Do you wish me to say it has merit? It hasn't.

Do you wish me to show you what is wrong with it? It is all wrong.

Do you wish me to tell you what to do with it? Tear it up.

Are you satisfied now?
