The World
George Bernard Shaw
A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.
尘世
萧伯纳
男人对于这个世界的兴趣,无非是源于对自己的兴趣。小时候,器小未满,所以只关心一己之事。长大后,器大满盈,或为政客、哲学家、探险家或冒险家。到老了时候,器内枯竭,再也无法泛滥,于是返老还童。
