Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.

  • -- C. S. Lewis C.S.刘易斯

告诉我们要服从本能就像告诉我们要服从人一样。人们会说不同的话，直觉也是如此。我们的本能处于战争状态…每一种本能，如果你听从它，都会声称以牺牲其他本能为代价而得到满足。
