"Doubt is useful for a while. We must all pass through the garden of Gethsemane. If Christ played with doubt, so must we."

怀疑在一段时间内是有用的。我们都必须经过客西马尼园。如果基督也曾与怀疑玩耍，那么我们也必须如此。

"The lower you are, the higher your mind will want to soar."

你越低，你的思想就越想高飞。

"I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life."

我必须谈谈恐惧。它是生命唯一的真正对手。只有恐惧才能击败生命。

"The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity—it's envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can."

死亡之所以紧紧跟随生命，不是因为生物学的必然性，而是因为嫉妒。生命如此美丽，以至于死亡爱上了它，这是一种嫉妒的、占有欲强烈的爱，它会抓住它能抓住的一切。

"Life on a lifeboat isn't much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn't be more simple, nor the stakes higher."

在救生艇上的生活并不算真正的生活。这就像国际象棋中的残局，棋子寥寥无几。环境再简单不过了，但赌注却再高不过了。

"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."

选择怀疑作为生活的哲学，就像选择静止作为交通工具一样。

"The world isn't just the way it is. It is how we understand it, no? And in understanding something, we bring something to it, no? Doesn't that make life a story?"

世界不仅仅是我们所看到的样子。它是我们理解它的方式，不是吗？在理解某件事物时，我们赋予了它一些东西，不是吗？这不就是让生活成为一个故事吗？
