A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.

  • -- Aldous Huxley 奥尔德斯·赫胥黎

像孩子一样的男人不是发育受阻的人;相反,他给了自己一个继续发展的机会,即使大多数成年人早已将自己包裹在中年习惯和习俗的茧中。
