You think I could stay here to become nothing to you? Do you think because I am poor, obscure and plain that I am soulless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and fully as much heart. And if god had gifted me with wealth and beauty, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you.

你以为我会留下来，做一个对你来说无足轻重的人吗？你以为，就因为我穷、低微、不美，我就没有心，没有灵魂吗？我也有一颗心，我们的精神是同等的。如果上帝赐于我美貌与财富的话，我也会让你难以离开我，就象我现在难以离开你一样.
