The ability to be alone is the ability to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those who can be alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another human being—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.
独处的能力就是爱的能力。这对你来说可能看起来矛盾，但并非如此。这是一个存在的真理：只有那些能够独处的人，才能爱，分享，进入另一个人最深的核心——而不占有对方，不依赖对方，不将对方物化，不对对方上瘾。
赏赐并不能让人欢喜，责罚也不能让人畏惧。
"The stories of the marginalized and the displaced are essential to understanding the full complexity of our world."
释义：身体没有受到饥饿和寒冷的痛苦，这是上天不曾亏待我；若是我的学问无所进步，我有何颜面去面对上天呢?
在某种意义上，生活中的最重大和最重要问题都是无法解决的。我们无法解决它们，只能在成长中超越它们。
Time is not a thing, thus we can neither waste nor save it; it is always with us.
