If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

  • -- Annie Dillard 迪拉德

如果我们听从自己的智慧,我们就不会有爱情。我们永远不会有友谊。我们永远不会去做生意,因为我们太愤世嫉俗了。嗯,那是胡说八道。你必须一直从悬崖上跳下去,并在下降的过程中建立你的翅膀。
