The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.

  • -- Albert Einstein 爱因斯坦

有些理想曾为我们引过道路，并不断给我新的勇气以欣然面对人生，那些理想就是真、善和美……在我看来，人类奋斗的普通目标——财产、表面上的成功、奢侈——总是可鄙的。
