A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

  • -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 圣埃斯库里

文明是一种信仰、习俗和知识的遗产,在几个世纪的过程中慢慢积累起来,这些元素有时很难用逻辑来证明,但当它们指向某个地方时,就会证明自己是正确的路径,因为它们为人类打开了内心的距离。
