An age at which many men are not quite common - at which they are hopeful of achievement, resolute in avoidance, thinking that Mammon shall never put a bit in their mouths and get astride their backs, but rather that Mammon, if they have anything to.

  • -- George Eliot 乔治·艾略特

在这个年龄,许多人并不十分平凡——他们对成就充满希望,坚决地回避,认为财富永远不会进入他们的嘴里,永远不会骑在他们的背上,而应该是财富,如果他们有什么需要的话。
