If there were a clear prospect that such evils were part of a barbarian past, then at least we might find a small crumb of comfort. No such prospect exists: no scientific analysis can even remotely answer or account for past and present horrors of human behaviour.

  • -- Simon Conway Morris 莫里斯

如果有一个明确的前景,这些邪恶是野蛮人过去的一部分,那么至少我们可能会找到一点安慰。这样的前景是不存在的:甚至没有任何科学分析能够对过去和现在人类行为的恐怖做出哪怕是一丁点的回答或解释。
