It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life.

  • -- Augustus Hare 野兔奥古斯都

我们在智力上天生就是婴儿,这对我们来说是件好事。如果我们能听懂母亲对婴儿所说的话和所做的事的一半,我们就会对自己的重要性充满自负,这种自负会使我们一生都无法忍受。
