The world is everything that is the case.

The city is a book written by its inhabitants.

出自《三国演义》，梁羽生在《七剑下天山》中引用

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

The past is a mirror, but we often see only what we want to see.
