To be deeply interested in the accidents of our existence, to enjoy keenly the mixed texture of human experience, rather leads a man to disregard precautions, and risk his neck against a straw.
深切关注人生的种种际遇,尽情体味人类经验的复杂质地,反而会使人抛开防备,为微不足道的事冒生命危险。
— Robert Louis Stevenson · Virginibus Puerisque, and Other Papers · Æs Triplex —
