All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end.

  • -- Neil Gaiman 尼尔·盖曼

我们所要相信的是我们的感官,我们用来感知世界的工具:我们的视觉,我们的触觉,我们的记忆。如果他们对我们说谎,那么什么都不能相信。即使我们不相信,我们仍然不能以任何其他方式旅行,除了我们的感官告诉我们的道路;我们必须沿着这条路走到底。
