"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 be useful was the best thing the old men ever hoped for themselves, and to be aimless was their worst fear."
恐惧束缚着你的心灵,希望释放着你的心灵。
