If it is only rarely that anything penetrates vividly into his numbed spirit, yet, when anything does, it brings with it a joy that is all the more poignant for its very rarity.
虽然鲜少有什么能鲜明地触动他麻木的心灵,可一旦有了,那份快乐便因难得而更加深切。
— Robert Louis Stevenson · Virginibus Puerisque, and Other Papers · Ordered South —
