Such as thy thoughts and ordinary cogitations are, such will thy mind be in time. For the soul doth as it were receive its tincture from the fancies, and imaginations.
你的思想和日常思虑是什么样,久而久之,你的心灵就会成为什么样。灵魂仿佛会染上那些念头与想象的颜色。
— Marcus Aurelius · Meditations · Book V, XV (Meric Casaubon translation, 1634) —
