It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

  • -- Arthur Schopenhauer 亚瑟·叔本华

只有一个人的基本思想中才有真理和生命。因为这是他真正完全理解的。读别人的思想,就像吃别人吃剩的饭,就像穿陌生人丢弃的衣服。
