身體在鬧情緒，所以她逐漸地不聽使喚了
理智準備將她粉身碎骨
我看見她走在崩壞的路上
頭一次，沒有任何人能攔得住往下墜的感覺
很好，沒有期待了

送給妳，以及我自己
在洪蘭的課上聽到的
It's taken a while to learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
You've learned that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security.
You've learned that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises.
And you've begun to accept your defeats
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
You've learned to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
It's taken a while to learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So, you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn and learn and learn.
And you've learned that you really can endure...
And that you really are strong...
And that you're already good enough...
And you're worthy of love...

Regarding the pain of others
開頭就引用Virginia Woolf說戰爭是有性別的、是雄性的
其實這也沒什麼，大家都知道
可是還是會覺得Woolf好可愛 XDD
－－戰爭裡所展現的性別差異，要「我們」面對時可不能忽略這一點
透過照片／影像做為一個「旁觀者」，在蘋果化和24小時不間斷的新聞報導中，沒得選
然而照片／畫面實在說得不夠清楚，文字才能助人理解，那些畫面，並不是要說清楚什麼，而是要產生情緒上的刺激，像恫嚇、警惕(墮胎影片的功能就是)、產生憐憫、同情、激起人們的行動…
我知道我被深刻地刺痛著，而且，文字比圖像更痛，畫面不過是記憶深刻，文字則說出了殘忍的事，接著我起身反抗、接著我不讓「旁觀者」標示出我的身份
譯者的文筆真好，很久沒看需要查字典的書了，一本應該是論文類的書，文學味濃厚異常

「於富裕國家的公眾意識內，後殖民非洲只以兩種方式存在：
性感音樂／受害者照片－饑荒、屠殺、愛滋……顯示了令人震
怒的不公，需要大力彌補的痛苦；也證實只有那些地方才會發
生這類事情，影像的雙重訊息」這是一個太可怕的事!!我們觀看不公不義，指出他人的痛苦所在，然後要打擊，間接證明自己就是在那個舒適的位置，痛苦只發生在遠方；而台灣這座島上還有那麼多痛苦，尚未形成的公眾意識，痛苦只在別人的家裡。每一天的報紙 、社會版頭條，看完了那些苦痛之後，也只是擱在一旁。去院區借宿的時候，也很明顯地感覺到自己很好命，睡不慣的榻榻米、動不動就現身的小強、跳蚤、蚊蟲，睡得著但睡不好，「需要大力彌補的痛苦」總是挺遙遠的，遠到能讓我們輕易的忽略或忘記，或是主宰別人的生死透過照片／影像做為一個「旁觀者」，在蘋果化和24小時不間斷的新聞報導中，沒得選
