Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished.

  • -- Madame de Stael 夫人

毫无疑问,良心足以引导最冷酷的人走上美德之路;热情之于良知,犹如荣誉之于责任;我们身上有一种多余的灵魂,当美好的事物完成后,把它奉献给美丽的事物是很甜蜜的。
