安全大抵虚幻，
世间无处寻觅。
芸芸众生，
无人有此经历。
避险难计久长，
不如现身搏击。
抑或险中求胜，抑或碌碌无为，人生非此即彼。
让我们直面改变，
行如自由之灵，
翱翔命运天际，是为不败之力。
—海伦·凯勒《让我们心怀信仰》

Let us have faith
Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature,
Nor do the children of men
As a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer
in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daringadventure,or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and
behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
— Helen Keller “Let Us Have Faith”
