If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable.

  • -- E. O. Wilson 威尔森

如果那些致力于探索的人失败了,他们将被原谅。当他们迷路时,他们会找到另一条路。人文主义的道德使命是单独的努力,无论成功与否,只要努力是光荣的,失败是难忘的。
