《月亮与六便士》是英国作家威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆所著的一部小说，原句是：

"I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art."

这句话的意思是：“我认为，唯一让我们能够不厌恶地看待我们生活的这个世界的因素，是人们能从混沌中创造出来的美丽。他们绘画的作品，作曲的音乐，写作的书籍，过着的人生。在所有这些创造中，最充满美丽的是美丽的生活。这是最完美的艺术品。”
