For it is a fire that kindling its first embers in the narrow nook of a private bosom, caught from a wandering spark out of another private heart, glows and enlarges until it warms and beams upon multitudes of men and women, upon the universal heart of all, and so lights up the whole world and all nature with its generous flames. ——Ralph Waldo Emerson
因为它是一种火焰,能将一个人内心深处的一丝余烬重新点燃,也可以被一颗芳心的流逸火花所触发,烈焰烜赫,愈燃愈大,直到后来,它的温暖与光亮必将到达千千万万的男女,达到天下人的共同心灵,以其无偏无私的光辉照亮整个世界和整个自然。—— 拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生
