It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.

  • -- Simone de Beauvoir 西蒙·德波伏瓦

与生命相对的是老年,而不是死亡。老年是对生命的戏仿,而死亡则把生命变成了一种命运:在某种程度上,死亡通过赋予生命绝对的维度来保存生命。死亡能消磨时间。
