There was a time when the most powerful of human intellects were deluded by the gibberish of the astrologer and the alchemist... But time advances; facts accumulate; doubts arise... The highest intellects, like the tops of mountains, are the first to catch and to reflect the dawn.

  • -- Thomas Babington Macaulay 麦考莱

曾经有一段时间,人类最强大的智慧被占星家和炼金术士的胡言乱语所迷惑……但是时间进步;事实的积累;怀疑出现……最高的智慧,如高山之巅,最先捕捉并反射黎明。
