We are born knowing nothing and with much striving we learn but a little; yet all the while we are bound by laws that hearken to no plea of ignorance, and measure out their rewards and punishments with calm indifference.

  • -- Paul Elmer More 保罗·埃尔默·摩尔

我们生来什么都不知道,经过努力,我们学到的只是一点点;然而,我们始终受到法律的约束,这些法律不听任何无知的辩解,以平静的冷漠来衡量它们的奖惩。
