I am content with nothing, restless and ambitious... and I despise myself for the vanity, which formed half the stimulus to my exertions. Oh would that I were one of those plodding wise fools who having once set their hand to the plough go on nothing doubting.

  • -- Thomas Henry Huxley 赫胥黎

我什么都不满足,躁动不安,野心勃勃……我鄙视自己的虚荣心,虚荣心是我努力的一半动力。啊,但愿我是那些曾经着手犁地的迟钝而又聪明的傻瓜之一,什么也不怀疑。
