历史的塑造现在超过了人们根据珍视的价值观来定位自己的能力。哪些价值观？即使不恐慌，人们也常常感觉到旧的感觉和思维方式已经崩溃，而新的开始模糊到道德停滞的地步。
The very shaping of history now outpaces the ability of men to orient themselves in accordance with cherished values. And which values? Even when they do not panic, men often sense that older ways of feeling and thinking have collapsed and that newer beginnings are ambiguous to the point of moral stasis.
认知的研究就是研究人类如何理解他们的世界。
不担心别人不了解自己，担心的是自己不能了解别人。
Being wise means having more questions than answers.
有时候，我们需要的不是一碗鸡汤，而是一个巴掌。
