The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.

译文：世俗风气之所以狡诈的人很多，到最后只有忠厚正直的人才能立得住脚；社会风气都以奢侈浮华为上，但最后还是觉得平淡安静的日子才更耐人寻味。赏析：做事就是做人。狡诈的行为虽然可以赢得一时的信任，但最后还是忠厚之人获得永久的尊重。历经人世繁华，方知平淡最真。

"The role of the infinitely small in nature is infinitely large."
