「物事がとてもうまくいっているときこそ、困難を予期すべきときだと、私は人生で学んだ。逆に、言葉にできないほど絶望的な危機のさなかにこそ、思いがけない幸運がすぐそこに潜んでいるものだと、うれしい経験から知った。」
"In my life I had come to realize that when things were going very well indeed it was just the time to anticipate trouble. And, conversely, I learned from pleasant experience that at the most despairing crisis, when all looked sour beyond words, some delightful "break" was apt to lurk just around the corner."
