“我不认为编辑是一种最具创造性的天才,那是非常难得的……人们从我身上发现的作为编辑的那些品质,譬如眼光啊,善意啊,品味啊,耐心啊,以及旺盛的精力啊什么的,这些都没什么了不起的!我对这些素质反倒不看重……我其实只做了一件事,那就是保护和培育一个艺术家的才华。我的工作就是呵护这些美妙的天才。”——罗伯特·戈特利布 “I do not think editors are one of the most creative geniuses, it is very rare ... ... The quality of people as editors discovered from me, such as vision, goodwill, taste, patience, and exuberant I have no value for these qualities ... I only did one thing, that is to protect and nurture the talent of an artist. My job is to care for these wonderful geniuses. ”- Robert Gottlieb
