I don't think there's much point in bemoaning the state of the world unless there's some way you can think of to improve it. Otherwise, don't bother writing a book; go and find a tropical island and lie in the sun.

  • -- Peter Albert David Singer 彼得·艾伯特·大卫·辛格

我不认为哀叹世界现状有什么意义,除非你能想出什么办法来改善它。否则,就不要写书了;去找一个热带岛屿,躺在阳光下。
