我为什么而活
贝特朗.罗素
三种简单却极为强烈的激情主宰了我的一生：渴望爱情、寻求知识、同情人类的苦难。这三种激情像飓风一般，将我四处吹荡，越过痛苦的海洋，抵达绝望的边缘。
我追求爱情，首先因为它能使人欣喜若狂——这种喜悦比较美妙，我愿为几小时的享受而舍弃余生。其次，因为它能驱散孤独感——在那种令人害怕的孤独中，颤抖的意识越过世界边缘，盯着深奥莫测、没有生命的深渊。最后在爱的结合中，我看到了圣人和诗人想象中的天堂景象。这就是我曾寻求的，尽管这对人类生活似乎可望而不可即，但我最终还是找到了我之所求。带着同等的激情，我寻求知识。我希望了解人类的感情。我试图理解.......我获得了一些知识，但不多。
爱情和知识，在其可能的范围之内，引导我飞翔天堂，但怜悯心总又把我带回人间。痛苦的哭喊声在我心中回响。饥荒中的儿童、受压迫者折磨的人们、成为孩子累赘而无依无靠的老人，还有随处可见的孤独，但我无能为力，我也痛苦。这就是我的生活。我认为这样的生活是有价值的，如果有机会，我将高高兴兴的以同样的方式再活一回。
