I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.

  • -- Damien Hirst 赫斯特

我被教导要面对你无法避免的事情。死亡就是其中之一。生活在一个你试图不去看死亡的社会是愚蠢的,因为看着死亡会让我们更有活力和精力地回到生活中。花不会永远开下去,这使它们变得美丽。
