People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.

  • -- Chuck Palahniuk 恰克·帕拉尼克

人们不希望自己的生活被改变。没有人希望自己的问题得到解决。他们的戏剧。他们的干扰。他们的故事解决。他们的脏乱打扫干净了。因为他们还剩下什么?只是一个可怕的未知。
