Nothing seems at first sight less important than the outward form of human actions, yet there is nothing upon which men set more store: they grow used to everything except to living in a society which has not their own manners.

  • -- Alexis de Tocqueville 托克维尔

乍一看，似乎没有什么比人类行为的外在形式更不重要的了，然而，没有什么比这更值得人们重视的了:除了生活在一个没有自己礼仪的社会里，人们对一切都习以为常了。
