Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you're running and you think，“Man， this hurts， I can't take it anymore.“ The “hurt“ part is an unavoidable reality， but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.
——What I Talk About When I Talk About Running， Novelist， Haruki Murakami
痛苦难以避免，是否受苦却可以选择。比方说你正跑着步，突然觉得“哎呀，好难受啊，我不行啦”，这个“好难受”是无法避免的事实，然而是不是果真“不行”，还得听凭本人裁量。
——《当我谈跑步时，我谈些什么》村上春树，小说家
