I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

我从来不是那种耐心地捡起破碎的碎片，再把它们粘在一起，然后告诉自己修补过的整体就像新的一样的人。破碎的就是破碎的——我宁愿记住它最好的样子，也不愿把它修补好，然后一辈子看着那些破碎的地方。
