Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.

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

每一个事实一方面与感觉有关,另一方面又与道德有关。思想的游戏是,在这两方面的一个方面出现后,找到另一个方面:给定上面的一面,找到下面的一面。
