The historian's first duty is to tell the truth as he sees it, regardless of whom it pleases or displeases.

最艰难的决定往往带来最大的回报。

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.

向高处挣扎本身足以填满一个人的心灵。人们必须想象西西弗斯是幸福的。
