原文英文：The most merciful thing in the world， I think， is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity， and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

要理解现在，我们必须首先直面过去。

人可能会死去。城池可能会泯灭在历史的长河里，英雄会老去，美人会迟暮。一切都终将会消失，但总有一些故事会传承下来。

The only way to do something in depth is to work hard.

历史不是过去，而是一张从特定视角绘制的地图，对现代旅行者有用。
