“At such moments the collapse of their courage, willpower, and endurance was so abrupt that they felt they could never drag themselves out of the pit of despond into which they had fallen. Therefore they forced themselves never to think about the problematic day of escape, to cease looking to the future, and always to keep, so to speak, their eyes fixed on the ground at their feet. But, naturally enough, this prudence, this habit of feinting with their predicament and refusing to put up a fight, was ill rewarded. For, while averting that revulsion which they found so unbearable, they also deprived themselves of those redeeming moments, frequent enough when all is told, when by conjuring up pictures of a reunion to be, they could forget about the plague. Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.”

“认可某人。喜欢某人，讨厌某人。跟谁在一起很开心，跟谁在一起很郁闷；跟谁牵手，跟谁拥抱；跟谁擦身而过。那就是活着。只有一个人的话，就不知道自己是否存在。喜欢某人、讨厌某人的我，跟谁在一起很开心、跟谁在一起很郁闷的我。我觉得我和这些人的关系，就是我活着的意义，而不是别人的。我的心是因为大家在才存在，我的身体是因为大家触碰才存在。这样构成的我，现在活着。还在这里活着。所以人活着是有意义的。就跟你和我都是因为自己的选择，所以现在在这里活着一样。”
