The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.

  • -- Samuel Johnson 塞缪尔·约翰逊

头脑永远不会满足于眼前的事物,而是总是脱离当下,沉浸在未来幸福的计划中……人类心灵的自然飞行不是从快乐到快乐,而是从希望到希望。
