残酷
人は、自分が望むものを手に入れるために、時に残酷になることがある。
人们有时为了得到自己想要的东西，会变得残酷。
"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness."
"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."
"A verdadeira literatura não tem medo de enfrentar a realidade, por mais dura que seja."
It’s not the world that’s cruel. It’s the people in it.
The world may be cruel, but it is also beautiful.
真相有时是残酷的。
真相总是残酷的。
We must face reality, even if it is cruel.
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
