“...many places and events defy description...seem to demand silence,
like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while later,
you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative,
an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you've been and what's
happened. In the end, you're just happy you were there...
with your eyes open...and lived to see it.”
「...很多地方和事件都抗拒被陳述...似乎需要的是反而是沉默，
像是一種你永遠無法確切描述的愛情。一陣子之後，
你笨拙地在思量用字遣詞，徒勞的試著要湊合出一個私密的故事，
一個解釋，一個圓滿的方式，好讓你完整表達所經歷的境界和發生的事。
但到頭來，你只是很開心你走過這一遭...
有好好睜大雙眼...有活著去目睹一切。」
