The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.

  • -- D. H. Lawrence 劳伦斯

唯一的历史只是一个人内心斗争的问题。但这就是它的乐趣所在。一个人既不需要发现美洲,也不需要征服其他国家,然而他要做的工作却和哥伦布或亚历山大一样伟大。
