The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence in the face of overwhelming social forces, of historical heritage, of external culture, and of the technique of life.
现代生活最深刻的问题源于个人在面对压倒性的社会力量、历史遗产、外部文化和生活技术时，要求保持其存在的自主性和个性。

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
