When all is done, human life is, at the greatest and the best, but like a froward child, that must be played with and humored a little to keep it quiet till it falls asleep, and then the care is over.

  • -- William Temple 坦普尔

当一切都完成后,人类的生活,充其量也就是最好的,但就像一个任性的孩子,必须和他一起玩耍,迁就他一点,让他安静下来,直到他睡着,然后关怀就结束了。
