Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.

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

我们的生活就是一个学徒,去认识这样一个真理:每绕一个圆圈,就会有另一个圆圈出现;自然界没有终点,但每一个终点都是一个起点,在每一个深渊之下都有一个更低的深渊在打开。
