When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless.

  • -- Willa Sibert Cather 威拉·西伯特·凯瑟

当善良离开了人们,哪怕只有一小会儿,我们也会害怕他们,好像他们的理智已经离开了他们。当它离开了一个我们总是能找到它的地方,它就像沉船;我们从安全堕落到邪恶和无底的东西。
