One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.

  • -- Victor Hugo 维克多雨果

一个人不是因为专心而无所事事。有看得见的劳动,也有看不见的劳动。思即苦干,思即行。双臂交叉起作用,双手合十起作用。仰望天堂是一种创造的行为。
