我已經做了我能做的，我若無法做得更好，那便不是我應得的。我還無法走出限制我的框架，我雖然年邁，但我仍在嘗試！I have done what I could do in life, and if I could not do better, I did not deserve it. In vain have I tried to step beyond what bound me. Despite my years, I am still trying!

I have done what I could do in life, and if I could not do better, I did not deserve it. In vain have I tried to step beyond what bound me. Despite my years, I am still trying!
— Maurice Maeterlinck, Writer
