一种人生命究竟有多大意义,这有什么原则可以衡量吗?提出一种绝对原则固然很困难;但是,大体上看一种人对待生命态度与否严肃认真,看她对待劳动、工作等等态度如何,也就不难对这个人存在乎义做出恰当预计了。古来一切有成就人,都很严肃地对待自己生命,当她活着一天,总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白地挥霍掉。国内历代劳动人民及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。

英译汉:然而几乎没有什么人会从书中提问:书能给我们什么。最为普遍是,我们接触书时怀有一种不甚清晰及与其相抵触想法:规定故事必要是真实,规定诗歌必要是虚构,规定传记必要是唱赞歌,规定历史必要可以增强读者原有结识。我们读书时若能驱逐所有这些先入之见,读书就会有一种良好开端。不要规定作家做什么,要设法使自己变成她,变成她合伙者,她同伙。如果你读书伊始就踌躇不决,持保存态度,或者要进行批评,你就不能从阅读中得到最大益处。如果你能尽量打开思路,那么极细微美质符号和暗示都会从曲折婉转语句中显现出来,把你引到一种与众不同人面前。
