If I wasn't hard, I wouldn't be alive.
If I couldn't ever be gentle, I wouldn't deserve to be alive.
--- Philip Marlowe's lines in Raymond T. Chandler `Playback'
[逐語訳]私が強くなかったなら(假定法過去)，生きてをれなかっただらう．
私がやさしくなれなかったなら(假定法過去+可能)，生きてゐるにあたゐしなかっただ らう．
[超訳]強くなければ生きてはをれない．やさしく出来ないなら生きてゐるにあたゐしない．

With the first link, the chain is forged.
The first speech censured.
The first though forbidden.
The first freedom denied.

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it
tragically.
The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins,
we start to build up new little habitats,
to have new little hopes.
It is rather hard wark: there is now no smooth road into the future;
but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles.
We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
D.H.Lawrence

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

The story is about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a
grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air--until he
notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore.
`My God, this is terrible,' the wave says. `Look what's going to
happen to me!'
Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim,
and it says to him, `Why do you look so sad?'
The first wave says, `Don't you understand? We're all going to crash!
All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't it terrible?'
The second wave says, `No, you don't understand. You're not a wave,
you're part of the ocean.
Morry Tuesday
