把这一句,留给此刻的你

One has children in the expectation of dying before them. In fact, you want to make damn sure you die before them, just as you plant a tree or build a house knowing, hoping that it will outlive you. That's how the human species has done as well as it has.

一个人有了孩子,就等着在他们之前死去。事实上,你想确保自己比他们早死,就像你种了一棵树或盖了一栋房子,希望它能比你活得久一样。人类就是这样做的。

— Christopher Hitchens 克里斯托弗·希钦斯
