When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.

  • -- Ernest Becker 厄内斯特·贝克尔

当我们明白,人是唯一必须创造意义的动物,必须为中性的本性开辟一条道路时,我们就已经明白了爱的本质。爱是一个动物的问题,它必须找到生命,与自然对话,才能体验自己的存在。
