What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.

  • -- Thomas Merton 托马斯·默顿

如果我们不能越过分隔我们和我们自己的深渊，那么驶向月球又有什么好处呢?这是所有发现之旅中最重要的一次，没有它，其他所有的航行不仅毫无用处，而且是灾难性的。
