If we are suffering illness, poverty, or misfortune, we think we shall be satisfied on the day it ceases. But there too, we know it is false; so soon as one has got used to not suffering one wants something else.

  • -- Simone Weil 西蒙娜·韦伊

如果我们正遭受疾病、贫穷或不幸,我们认为在它停止的那一天我们就会得到满足。但在这一点上,我们也知道它是假的;一旦一个人习惯了不受苦,他就想要别的东西。
