Every one knows, that the mind will not be kept from contemplating what it loves in the midst of crowds and business. Hence come those frequent absences, so observable in conversation; for whilst the body is confined to present company, the mind is flown to that which it delights in.

  • -- Mary Astell 艾斯泰尔

每个人都知道,在人群和商业中,人们的头脑不会停止思考自己喜欢什么。因此,他们常常不在家,这在谈话中是显而易见的。因为当身体被限制在现在的陪伴下,思想就会飞向它所喜欢的东西。
