The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

  • -- Pearl S. Buck 珍珠红

试图独自生活的人是不会成功的。他的心若不回答别人的心,就必枯干。如果他只听到自己思想的回声而没有发现其他灵感,他的大脑就会萎缩。
