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 able to love, to share, to go 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,但其实不是。这是一个存在的真理:只有那些能够独处的人才能爱,才能分享,才能深入另一个人的内心深处——而不占有对方,不依赖对方,不将对方物化,不对对方上瘾。

多样性不仅仅是一个可有可无的东西,对于任何想在当今世界蓬勃发展的组织来说,它都是必不可少的。

以客观角度来看,这个世界确实变得更好,但同时也变得更糟。前进一步,又倒退一步,仿佛宇宙在科技进步和文化倒退间达成平衡,使人类的进展呈钟形曲线。
