“人类的天性有它的限度，”我继续说，“它对欢乐、忧伤、痛苦能够忍受到一定限度，一旦超过了限度，立刻就会毁灭。这里的问题不在于他究竟是软弱还是坚强，而在于他对自己的痛苦能够忍受的程度。这种痛苦可能是道义上的，也可能是肉体上的，我认为，把一个自杀的人说成是胆小鬼，正像把一个死于恶性热病的人称为懦夫同样是不合适的。”

人类到底是什么样的生物呀！他们的全部灵魂都寄托在繁文缛节上了，成年累月，用尽心机，只想一步步坐到上首的席位上去！倒不是他们没有旁的事情可干：不，事情多得成堆，正因为他们热衷于这种无聊的烦恼，把重要事情耽误了。傻瓜才看不到位置高低其实根本没有意义，占据首席位子而起到首要作用的人真是凤毛麟角！多少国王依靠他们的大臣进行统治！多少大臣依靠他们的幕僚进行治理！那么谁是首要人物呢？依我看来是这种人：他对别人能明察秋毫，他拥有

我知道的东西谁都可以知道；而我的心却为我所独有。

你要是问这儿的人怎么样，那我要告诉你：和各处的一样！人都是一个模子里造出来的。多数人为了生计，干活耗去了大部分时间，剩下的一点业余时间却令他们犯了闲愁，非得挖空心思、想法设法把它打发掉。啊，人就是这么个命！

人要是不那么死心眼、不那么执着地去追忆往昔的不幸——上帝知道人为什么这样！——而是更多地考虑如何对现时处境泰然处之，那么人的苦楚就会小得多。

我对待我的心如同对待一个病孩，随它为所欲为。

我生平最讨厌的莫过于人与人之间相互折磨，尤其是风华正茂的年轻人，本可以胸怀坦荡地尽情欢乐，可是他们却彼此拿一些无聊的蠢事把不多几天的好日子都糟蹋掉，等意识到浪费的光阴已经无法弥补时，已经太晚了。

没有一个瞬间不在损耗你和你周围亲人的生命，没有一个瞬间不是破坏者，也不得不是破坏者；一次最普普通通的散步就要葬送千百只可怜小虫子的生命，一蹴脚就会毁掉蚂蚁辛辛苦苦营造的房舍，把一个小世界踩为一座屈辱的坟墓。啊，触动我的不是世界上罕见的大灾难，不是摧毁你们村庄的洪水，不是吞噬你们城市的地震；伤害我心灵的是隐藏在大自然中的损耗力，它所造就的一切无一不在摧毁它的邻居，无一不在摧毁它自己。想到这些我便心惊胆战，步履踉跄。围绕
