The only truly affluent are those who do not want more than they have.
唯一真正富有的是那些不想要比他們擁有的更多的人。
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.
Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.
人一生中的主要任務是誕生自己，成為他潛在的樣子。他努力的最重要產物是他自己的個性。
The ability to be alone is the ability to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not. It is an existential truth: only those who can be alone are able to love, to share, to go into the deepest core of another human being—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.
獨處的能力就是愛的能力。這對你來說可能看起來矛盾，但其實不是。這是一個存在的真理：只有那些能夠獨處的人才能愛，才能分享，才能深入另一個人的內心深處——而不占有對方，不依賴對方，不將對方物化，不對對方上癮。
