Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones.

  • -- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg 利希滕贝格

就像我们长大后不再穿裤子一样，我们也不再穿熟人、图书馆、原则等等，有时裤子还没穿坏，有时——这是最糟糕的——还没有新裤子。
