It was a self-absorption with no comfort, a demand for expression with no outlet, a sense of time rushing by, ceaselessly and wastefully—assuaged only by that conviction that there was nothing to waste, because all efforts and attainments were equally valueless.

這是一種沒有安慰的自我專注,一種沒有出口的表達需求,一種時間在不停地、浪費地流逝的感覺——只有被沒有什麼可以浪費的信念所緩解,因爲所有的努力和成就都同樣沒有價值。
