“None of us can help the things life has done to us. They’re done before you realize it. And once they’re done, they make you do other things until at last everything comes between you and what you’d like to be, and you’ve lost your true self forever.”

– Eugene O’Neill, Long Day’s Journey into Night

人生的变故，谁也无力抗拒。不知不觉间，一切已完成。而一旦发生了，一切就都成了隔阂，亘在你和理想之间，真实的你遂永远失去了。（佛老 译）
