Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked; for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number; for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.

  • -- Aristotle 亚里士多德

如果灵魂不存在,时间是否会存在,这是一个可以公平地提出的问题;因为如果没有人可以数,就没有什么可以数的,所以显然就没有数字;因为数字不是已经被数过的,就是可以被数过的。
