It is indeed an opinion strangely prevailing amongst men, that houses, mountains, rivers, and in a word all sensible objects, have an existence, natural or real, distinct from their being perceived by the understanding.
的确,人们中间流行着一种奇怪的观点,即房屋、山脉、河流,总之,所有感知对象,都具有超越其被理解感知之外的自然或真实存在。
The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read.
我唯一能依靠的是自己的感知,而它总是在变化。
I'm not perfect, I don't claim to be. But I'm trying.
外表不端正的人,是因为德没有养成;内里不专—的人,是因为心没有治好。端正形貌,整饬内德,使万物都被掌握理解。
最好的科学不是来自随波逐流,而是来自追求你的好奇心。
