[Man] is nothing else than the narrow and perilous bridge between nature and spirit. His innermost destiny drives him on to the spirit and to God. His innermost longing draws him back to nature, the mother. Between the two forces his life hangs tremulous and irresolute.
—Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
[人]不过是自然界与精神之间狭窄而危险的桥梁。他内心最深处的命运驱使他进入精神和上帝。他内心深处的渴望把他拉回到大自然，母亲。在这两种力量之间，他的生命摇摆不定，犹豫不决。
