Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.

  • -- Thomas Merton 托马斯·默顿

死亡是这样一个人,你能清楚地看到他,他的眼睛就在你的心脏的中心:他的眼睛不是通过对光线的反应而看到的,而是通过对来自你生命骨髓中的一种寒意的反应而看到的。
