There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.

-- Victor Hugo 维克多雨果

每件大事都有一种神圣的恐怖。人们很容易赞美平庸和山丘;但是，无论什么东西太崇高，一个天才和一座山，一个集会和一个杰作，如果看得太近，都是令人震惊的。
