“ When Jonathan Lee,the 58-year-old Taiwanese singer,sung“Having conquered the mountain,only to find there’s nobody waiting,”he was not dismayed by others’negligence.What he actually meant was,“Don’t you guys think we are too old while you are still young?I’m already on the top of the mountain but you are nowhere to be seen.”

有人曾問我，如果生命滿是歡樂，你愛它，如果生命只是平淡，你也愛它，但倘若生命是接踵而來的不幸呢？那天，我沒有回答，我沉默很久，說不出一句話。今天，我卻想說，我依舊愛它。因為，那是屬于我的。

田維《花田半畝》

It floods in when you are encountered with the vastness of the universe.Reading is not of much help.It enables me,though,to understand that feeling and to embrace the fact that it is inseparable from my soul.

—Kevin Tsai,LA Wandering Mind

有一種寂寞，不是靠戀愛可以解決的，不是靠養(yǎng)小孩可以解決的。那是一種“念天地之悠悠”的寂寞。閱讀，也不能排除這種寂寞，但可以讓我理解這種寂寞、讓我安心地接受這種寂寞是跟我的靈魂共始共終的。

蔡康永《LA流浪記》
