The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.

  • -- Quentin Crisp 昆汀·奎斯普

大多数人的消费欲望是故意把他们的整个生命种植在别人的手中。我认为这种寻找幸福的方法是不成熟的。性格的发展完全在于走向自给自足。
