It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.

  • -- Quentin Crisp 昆汀·奎斯普

有人解释说,所有的关系都需要一点付出和收获。这是不真实的。任何伙伴关系都要求我们付出、付出、再付出,最后,当我们精疲力竭地一头扎进坟墓时,却被告知我们付出得不够。
