Hugh Laurie: "Kematian dan malapetaka ada di pundak kami setiap detik...

"Kematian dan malapetaka ada di pundak kami setiap detik dalam hidup kami, berusaha meraih kami. Hilang, sering kali. Banyak mil di jalan tol tanpa roda depan meledak. Banyak virus yang meluncur melalui tubuh kita tanpa tersangkut. Banyak piano yang jatuh satu menit setelah kita lulus. Atau sebulan, tidak ada bedanya. Jadi, kecuali kita akan berlutut dan bersyukur setiap kali bencana meleset, tidak masuk akal untuk mengeluh ketika melanda."

--- Hugh Laurie

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Death and disaster are at our shoulders every second of our lives, trying to get at us. Missing, a lot of the time. A lot of miles on the motorway without a front wheel blow-out. A lot of viruses that slither through our bodies without snagging. A lot of pianos that fall a minute after we've passed. Or a month, it makes no difference. So unless we're going to get down on our knees and give thanks every time disaster misses, it makes no sense to moan when it strikes.
