It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

  • -- Ralph Waldo Emerson 拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生

在这个世界上,跟随世俗的意见生活是很容易的;在孤独中,我们很容易活在自己的世界里;但伟大的人是那些在人群中保持绝对甜蜜的孤独的独立性的人。
