It is curious to reflect, for example, upon the remarkable legend of the Philosopher's Stone, one of the oldest and most universal beliefs, the origin of which, however far back we penetrate into the records of the past, we do not probably trace its real source.

  • -- Frederick Soddy 弗雷德里克·索迪

例如，令人感到好奇的是，对哲人之石的非凡传说进行反思，这是最古老和最普遍的信仰之一，它的起源，无论我们追溯到过去的记录中有多远，我们可能都无法找到它的真正来源。
