Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.

  • -- Paul Tournier 保罗·突尼尔

接受一个人的生活与顺从无关;这并不意味着逃避斗争。相反,它意味着接受它的本来面目,带有遗传、痛苦、心理复杂和不公正的所有障碍。
