The truth about the world is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is. A hat trick in a medicine show. A fevered dream. A trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent. An itinerant carnival. A migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
世界的真相是任何事情都可能发生。若非你从出生起就见惯了这一切,从而消解了它的怪异,它就会向你展现其本来面目。一场药铺里的戏法。一场高烧的梦。一场充斥着既无先例也无类比的奇美拉的恍惚。一场巡回的嘉年华。一场迁徙的帐篷秀,在许多泥泞的场地搭台后,其最终目的地是无法言说且灾难性得超乎想象的。
我们必须倾听祖先的低语,因为他们掌握着时代的智慧。
在你雇佣人之前,你需要确认他的三项素质:正直诚实,聪明能干,精力充沛。但是最重要的是正直诚实,因为如果他不正直诚实而又具备了聪明能干和精力充沛,你的好日子也就到头了。
道德的目的是教你,不是受苦和死亡,而是享受自己和生活。
