把这一句，留给此刻的你

We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful.

我们不是一下子出生的，而是一点一点地出生的。身体在先，精神在后;圣灵在那些留意自己内心生活的人身上的诞生和成长，是缓慢而极其痛苦的。

— Mary Antin 玛丽·安亭
