The acknowledged legislators of the world take the world as given. They dislike mysteries, for mysteries cannot be coded, or legislated, and wonder cannot be made into law. And so these legislators police the accepted frontiers of things.

  • -- Ben Okri 本·奥克里

世界上公认的立法者视世界为理所当然。他们不喜欢神秘,因为神秘不能被编码,也不能被立法,奇迹也不能成为法律。所以这些立法者管理着被接受的事物的边界。
