I'm not telling you to make the world better， because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it， not just to suffer it， not just to pass through it， but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it.
—Commencement address at the University of California， Riverside， 1975， Essayist， Joan Didion
我不是要你去把这个世界变得更好，因为我并不认为进步是生活必要的一部分。我只是告诉你要活在其中。不只是隐忍，不只是受苦，不只是经历，而是要活在其中。去面对它、去试着了解它、勇敢生活、大胆尝试，创造你自己的作品并以之为傲。
——1975年，加州大学河滨分校毕业致辞，琼·狄迪恩，散文家
