把这一句，留给此刻的你
No school of philosophy has ever solved this question of whether being determines consciousness or the other way around. It may be a false antithesis.
没有一个哲学流派曾经解决过存在决定意识还是意识决定意识的问题。这可能是一个错误的对立。
— Christopher Hitchens 克里斯托弗·希钦斯

Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.
科学与控制无关。它是在面对比我们最新的理论更丰富、更微妙的东西时，培养一种永久的惊奇状态。这是尊重，而不是掌握。

The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation; a feather and a guinea fall with equal velocity in a vacuum.
在一个头脑空空的人看来，最合理的论据也不会比最肤浅的说教更令人信服;羽毛和几内亚在真空中以同样的速度落下。

The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.
“诚实是最好的政策”这句陈词滥调遭到了“诚实不是政策”的公正批评。真正诚实的人，诚实来自于对正确的信念，而不是政策。
