Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity..
难道这不是产生新确定性的最深刻怀疑的时刻吗?也许绝望正是滋养人类希望的土壤;也许一个人如果不首先体验生活的荒谬性，就永远找不到生活的意义。

生活的艺术不在于保持和执着于某种特定的幸福模式，而在于允许幸福改变其形式，而不因这种改变而失望;幸福，就像一个孩子，必须被允许长大。
