That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.
我的存在，对我是一个永久的神奇，这就是圣生活。
Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes.
休息与工作的关系，正如眼睑与眼睛的关系。
Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth.
人是一个初生的孩子，他的力量，就是生长的力量。
They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back.
那些把灯背在背上的人，把他们的影子投到了自己前面。
—《飞鸟集》
每天朗读背诵几句飞鸟集，就像婴儿刚睁开眼，世界是新的也是美好的。
