I ordered each man to be presented with something, as strings of ten or a dozen glass beads apiece, and thongs of leather, all which they estimated highly; those which came on board I directed should be fed with molasses.

-- Christopher Columbus 克里斯托弗·哥伦布

我命令每人拿出一件东西，一串十颗或十来颗玻璃珠子，还有皮条，他们对这两样东西的估价都很高。凡我所吩咐上船的，都要吃糖浆。

如果你不相信有什么组织原则，或者天空中有人在幕后操纵，那就会非常有压力。自然本身是非常武断的——它不是恶意的，也不是仁慈的;它甚至不知道我们在这里。
