There is no passion in the mind of man so weak, but it mates and masters the fear of death. And therefore death is no such terrible enemy, when a man hath so many attendants about him that can win the combat of him. Revenge triumphs over death; love slights it ; honour aspireth to it ; grief flieth to it.

  • -- Francis Bacon 弗朗西斯·培根

人的头脑中没有一种激情是如此的脆弱,但它却能与死亡的恐惧交配并驾驭它。因此,当一个人身边有那么多可以战胜他的随从时,死亡就不是那么可怕的敌人了。复仇战胜死亡;爱轻视它;尊荣追求它;悲伤会随之而来。
