边缘...没有诚实的方法来解释它，因为唯一真正知道它在哪里的人已经过去了。其他人 - 生活 - 那些将自己的控制权推向他们认为可以处理的人，然后向后拉，放慢脚步，或者在现在和以后进行选择时所做的一切。但是边缘仍然在那里。
(The Edge...There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others-the living-are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later. But the edge is still Out there.)
