It is one of the maladies of our age to profess a frenzied allegiance to truth in unimportant matters, to refuse consistently to face her where graver issues are at stake.
我們這時代的一大弊病，是對雞零狗碎的事瘋狂熱衷，重要的事卻一再迴避。
- Janos Arany, poet (1817-1882)
The question why there is evil in existence is the same as why there is imperfection... But this is the real question we ought to ask: Is this imperfection the final truth, is evil absolute and ultimate?
世上為何會有惡？這問題跟事物為什麼不完美是一樣的……但我們真正該問的是：這種不完美是終極事實嗎？邪惡是確鑿無疑、無可改變的嗎？
- Rabindranath Tagore, poet, philosopher, author, songwriter, painter, educator, composer, Nobel laureate (1861-1941)
It came to me that reform should begin at home, and since that day I have not had time to remake the world.
有一天我發現，改革應該從家裡做起。自此之後，我再沒有時間去改造世界。
- Will Durant, historian (1885-1981)
