那些日子一点儿都不浪漫。我没有宿舍，只能睡在朋友房间的地板上。我去退还可乐瓶，用那五分钱的押金来买吃的。每个星期天晚上我都要走七英里，到城那头的黑尔-科里施纳礼拜堂去，吃每周才能享用一次的美餐。我喜欢这样。我凭着好奇心和直觉所干的这些事情，有许多后来都证明是无价之宝。

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

而那些相互欺瞒却又过着单纯、明了生活的人，抑或相互欺瞒却又胸有成竹地面对生活的人，着实令人费解。人类终究未能让我明白其中真谛。若我能明了，或许就不必如此地畏惧人类，也不必竭力讨好众人，更不至于与人类的生活对立，夜夜遭受地狱般的苦难。
