There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

  • -- Alexandre Dumas 大仲马

世界上没有幸福,也没有痛苦;只有一种状态与另一种状态的比较,仅此而已。感受过最深悲伤的人,最能体会到最大的幸福。我们必须体验过死亡的滋味,才能体会到生活的乐趣。
