There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of living.在這世界上既無所謂幸福也無所謂不幸，只有一種狀況和另一種狀況的比較，如此而已。只有體驗過極度不幸的人，才能品嚐到極度的幸福。只有下過死的決心的人，莫雷爾，才能懂得活著有多快樂。never forget that until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man,all human wisdom is summed up in these two words, −− Wait and hope.永遠不要忘記，直至天主垂允為人類揭示未來圖景的那一天來到之前，人類的全部智慧就包含在這五個字裡面：等待和希望。
