Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.

  • -- Anne Lamott 安妮·拉摩特

你的问题是你将如何度过这奇特而宝贵的一生。不管你是想要花时间让自己看起来很好,并制造出一种错觉,认为自己拥有控制人和环境的能力,还是想要品尝它,享受它,并发现关于自己的真相。
