Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

  • -- William James 威廉·詹姆斯

无论教授所信仰的宇宙是什么,它都必须是一个适合冗长论述的宇宙。一个用两句话就能定义的宇宙,是教授的智慧所无法解释的。不要相信那种廉价的东西!
