经典段落：
Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain,and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soulas you—and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty andmuch wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is nowfor me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom,conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;—it is my spirit that addressesyour spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood atGod’s feet, equal,—as we are!
你以为，我因为贫穷、低微、长相平庸、个子瘦小，就没有灵魂，没有心灵吗？你错了！——我和你一样有灵魂——我的心灵和你一样充实！如果上帝赐予我一点美貌和很多的财富，我也能让你对我难分难舍，就像现在我离不开你一样。我现在不是根据习俗、常规，甚至也不是血肉之躯在同你说话，而是我的灵魂同你的灵魂在说话。我们仿佛都穿过了坟墓，我们站在上帝的脚下，平等地——我们本来就是！
