有一天,星星会逐渐消失或爆炸。总有一天,死亡会像湖水一样覆盖我们所有人,也许永远不会有任何东西浮出水面来表明我们曾经在那里。但我们就在那里,在我们活着的时候,我们还活着。这就是事实——现在是什么、过去是什么、将会是什么——而不是可能是什么、应该是什么、永远不可能是什么。
(Someday stars will wind down or blow up. Someday death will cover us all like the water of a lake and perhaps nothing will ever come to the surface to show that we were ever there. But we WERE there, and during the time we lived, we were alive. That's the truth - what is, what was, what will be - not what could be, what should have been, what never can be.)
