At times is it seems that I am living my life backward, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles-wrinkles that my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.

  • -- Andre Gide 安德烈·吉德

有时,我似乎过着一种落后的生活,随着年龄的增长,我真正的青春即将开始。我的灵魂生来就布满了皱纹——这些皱纹是我的祖先和父母孜孜不倦地抚平的,而我却难以抚平。
