When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.

  • -- Albert Camus 阿尔伯特·加缪

当你看到心爱的人脸上洋溢着幸福的光芒时,你就会知道,一个人没有别的使命,只能唤醒他周围的那张脸上的幸福之光;你为自己所遭遇的不幸和不幸的夜晚所折磨,为自己生活的事实所折磨。
