把这一句，留给此刻的你

Speech is often barren; but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg; and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.

言语常常是贫乏的;但沉默也不一定能孵出一个满巢。你那一动不动的家禽，对你眨巴着眼睛，一言不发，可能一直坐在一个发霉的蛋上;当需要咯咯笑的时候，除了那愚蠢的错觉，就没有什么好宣布的了。

— George Eliot 乔治·艾略特
