A little tired, perhaps. But I feel peaceful. Your success in the ring this morning was, to a small degree, my success. Your future is assured. You will live, secure and safe, Wilbur. Nothing can harm you now. These autumn days will shorten and grow cold. The leaves will shake loose from the trees and fall. Christmas will come, then the snows of winter. You will live to enjoy the beauty of the frozen world, for you mean a great deal to Zuckerman and he will not harm you, ever. Winter will pass, the days will lengthen, the ice will melt in the pasture pond. Then song sparrow will return and sing, the frogs will awake, the warm wind will blow again.

这是我大二在书店打工时，趁老板不注意偷偷读的一本小书，那时觉得好感动。那时我也好快乐啊，简单又单纯，洒脱又快乐。什么都不用想，只要记得念好书就行。生活就是一辆没有回程的列车，沿途再美的风景也只能路过，踏上去就不会复返了，做的就是享受当下的生活。还有多少时间用来等待和遗忘呢

生命到底是什么啊？我们出生，我们活上一阵子，我们死去。一只蜘蛛，一生只忙着捕捉和吃苍蝇是毫无意义的，…，谁都知道人活着该做一点有意义的事情。
