In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn't know art, just as it doesn't know freedom, just as it doesn't know goodness.

  • -- Ivan Turgenev 伊凡·图尔格涅夫

最终,自然是无情的:它没有理由匆忙,迟早会夺走属于它的东西。无意识地、顽固地服从自己的法则,它不懂艺术,就像它不懂自由,就像它不懂善良一样。
