"Because what's knocked the corners off the place, taken the shine off it and made it dingy and unintimidating--are plays. Plays plump, plays paltry, plays preposterous, plays purgatorial, plays radiant, plays rotten--- but plays persistent. Plays, plays, plays.

The habit of art.”

必须把这段最经典的台词截下来。NT50周年的时候有两部Alan Bennett的作品片段演出，历史系男生是男孩们法语演妓院那场，文艺趣向就是最后这段。值得背下来的台词
一#The Habit of Art#

虽然附近没有丁点除了牛羊之外的生命迹象，但空气中散发着青草味，湿气味，动物粪便味，远处火堆里泥烟味。它们不是她梦想中纯白蓬松的羊，而是臭烘烘，羊毛泛黄打结的羊。
The air smelled of grass, damp, dung, and peat smoke from a distant fire, though she saw no indications of life in the immediate vicinity, other than cows and sheep. They weren’t the sheep of her dreams, white and pure and fluffed, but dingy and yellowed and matted. Maa, said the sheep. Maa, she replied, the exchange bringing her to the point of tears, because it was something Ethan might have done, when they were easier together and kindnesses and clowning were possible. Maa? as if the animals had lost their mother, as she had done, that February.
