Exile has helped me. When, at some

point in our lives, we meet a real

tragedy – which could happen to any

one of us – we can react in two ways.

Obviously, we can lose hope, let

ourselves slip into discouragement, into

alcohol, drugs and unending sadness.

Or else, we can wake ourselves up,

discover in ourselves an energy that

was hidden there, and act with more

clarity, more force.

流亡幫助了我.

在生命的某個時刻,

當我們遇到了真正的悲劇時

– 悲劇可能發生在任何人身上 –

可以有兩種反應.

顯然地, 我們能失去希望,

讓自己不自覺的氣餒喪志,

陷入酒精, 藥物, 和無盡的悲哀之中.

或者, 我們可以把自己喚醒,

發現自己潛藏的能量,

以更清晰及更大的力量來行動.
