It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.

-- George D. Prentice 乔治D.普伦蒂斯

希望所有人都一样高兴是徒劳的。让一个人站在他想要的方向上，他一定要背对半个世界。

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.

你没有必要离开这所房子。坐在你的桌子旁听。不要听，只要等待。甚至不要等待，完全安静和孤独。世界将向你展示它的真面目，它别无它法，它将狂喜地在你脚下扭动。
