Opinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law. If it goes past the centre of gravity on one side, it must go a like distance on the other; and it is only after a certain time that it finds the true point at which it can remain at rest.

  • -- Arthur Schopenhauer 亚瑟·叔本华

意见就像钟摆,遵循同样的规律。如果它通过了一边的重心,另一边也必须经过同样的距离;只有过了一段时间,它才会找到真正的点,使它能保持静止。
