We need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before – more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.

我们无需为自己的泪水而羞愧，因为泪水就像雨水落在模糊我们视线的灰尘上，浸没我们坚硬的心灵土壤。哭泣后，我感觉更好——我更加愧疚，更加意识到自己的忘恩负义，也更加温柔。

——查尔斯·狄更斯 《远大前程》
