Thus my wanderings over the fields of knowledge not only failed to cure me of my despair, but increased it. One branch of knowledge gave no answer at all to the problem of life, another gave a direct answer which confirmed my despair, and showed that the state to which I had come was not the result of my going astray, of any mental disorder, but, on the contrary, of my thinking rightly, of my being in agreement with the conclusions of the most powerful intellects among mankind.

وهكذا فإنّ أسفاري في حقولِ المعرفة البشرية لم تفشل فقط في علاجي من اليأس، بل زادت منه. إذ أنّ أحدَ فروع المعرفة لا يملك على الإطلاق أي جوابٍ لمعضلةِ الحياة. أما فرعٌ آخر، فيملك جوابًا مباشرًا يؤكد يأسي، ويُبيّن لي أنّ الحال التي وصلتُ لها ليست نتيجةَ استنتاج خاطئ من جانبي، أو بسبب مرضٍ عقلي، بل على العكس، بسبب تفكيري الصائب، وبسبب أنّ رأيي على وفاق مع ما استنتجته أقوى العقول بين بني البشر.

In contradiction to the theory that the less learned we are the less we understand the meaning of life, and see in our sufferings and death but an evil joke, these men of the people live, suffer, and draw near to death, in quiet confidence and oftenest with joy.

على النقيض من النظرية التي تقول أنّنا كلما كنّا أقلَ عِلمًا كلما كنّا أقل فهمًا لمعنى الحياة ونرى في المعاناة والموت نكتةً شرّيرة، فإنّ هؤلاء الرجالُ البسطاء من أبناء الشعب يعيشون ويُعانون ويقتربون من الموت في ثقةٍ صامتة وبسعادةٍ في أغلب الأحيان.

Faith clothes with infinity the finite existence of man, gives a meaning to life which triumphs over suffering, privation, and death.

إنّ الإيمان يُلبِس وجودَ الإنسان المحدود ثيابَ اللانهائية، ويعطي معنى للحياة ينتصرُ على المعاناة والحرمان والموت.

I renounced the life of my own class, for I had come to confess that it was not a real life, only the semblance of one, that its superfluous luxury prevented the possibility of understanding life.

لقد تخلّيتُ عن الحياةِ التي منحتني إياها طبقتي الإجتماعية، لأنّني بدأتُ أعترفُ أنها لم تكن حياةً حقيقية، بل نسخةً عنها، وأنّ رفاهيّتها السطحية منعتني من إمكانية فَهمِ الحياة.

I had asked what my own life was, and the answer was, an evil and a thing without meaning. Exactly so, my life was but a long indulgence of my passions; it was a thing without meaning, an evil; and such an answer, therefore, referred only to my own life, and not to human life in general.

لقد تسائلتُ عن ماهيّة حياتي، والجواب كان أنّها شيءٌ شريرٌ وبلا معنى. بالضبط، ما كانت حياتي سوى انغماسٍ طويل في أهوائي ورغباتي؛ كانت شيئًا بلا معنى، شرًّا؛ وهذا الجواب، بالنتيجة، لا يشيرُ سوى لحياتي أنا، وليس للحياة الإنسانية بشكل عام.

- What is life?
- Life is a monstrous evil.
The answer would be a true one, but only for the man who gave it.
