I always believe that when two people get along with each other,
我一向认为两个人相处,
this is their highest responsibility: to protect the other person's solitude1.
这是他们的最高职责:保护对方的孤独。”
——句 里尔克《给青年诗人的信》
The last of human freedoms – the ability to choose one’s attitude in a given set of circumstances.
在任何特定的环境中,人们还有一种最后的自由,就是选择自己的态度。”
——维克多·弗兰克
APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
四月是残忍的季节,
从死了的土地滋生丁香,
混杂着回忆和欲望,
让春雨挑动着呆钝的根。
荒原(节选)
T·S·艾略特
Only a life with a sense of ritual can let us actually have a sense of existence.
有仪式感的人生,才使我们切切实实有了存在感。
It’s not for the purpose of leaving an impression on other people,
不是为他人留下什么印象,
but for the purpose of perceiving life sincerely with your own heart and facing life with undiminished enthusiasm.
而是自己的心在真切地感知生命,充满热忱地面对生活。”
——句 洛蕾利斯《我们为什么需要仪式》
