獨處的能力就是愛的能力。這對你來說可能看起來矛盾，但事實并非如此。這是一個存在的真理：只有那些能夠獨處的人才有能力去愛，去分享，去深入另一個人的最深處——而不占有對方，不依賴對方，不將對方物化，不對對方上癮。
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 capable of love, of sharing, of going 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.

世界就是它本來的樣子；那些什么都不是的人，那些允許自己變得什么都不是的人，在這個世界上沒有立足之地。
