尘世
男人对于这个世界的兴趣，无非是来自对自己的兴趣。小时候，器小未盈，故只关心一己之事。长大了以后，器大满盈，或为政客、哲学家、探险家或冒险家。老了的时候，器内枯竭，再也无法泛滥，于是返老还童。
作者：爱尔兰剧作家、小说家及评论家萧伯纳
《伤心之家》
The World
A man's interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.
Written by George Bernard Shaw (1851-1950)
