The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, scepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin.
自然知识的改进者绝对拒绝承认权威。对他来说,怀疑主义是最高的责任;盲目信仰是不可饶恕的罪过。
"We are all detectives of our own lives, piecing together clues from the past."
总是为最坏的情况做计划,同时期待最好的结果。
不该说话的时候却抢着去说,这叫急躁;到该说话的时候却闭口不说,这叫隐瞒;不看别人的脸色便随便插嘴,这叫没有眼色。
