I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.

--Taylor Caldwell

我想，我不孤单，从来不曾孤单。当然，这也正是圣诞节的讯息：即使在夜最深、风最冷、世界似乎最冷漠的时刻，我们也不孤单，因为这仍是上帝选择的时刻。

——泰勒·卡德威尔
