一些事物仓促降临,而另一些事物则飞逝而去;即使是那些刚刚降临的事物,其中有一部分也已经归于消亡。运动和变化不断地更新着这个世界,恰如连续性的时间进程在不断更新着岁月。 Some things come in haste, others fly away; Even what has just come, some of it has already gone. Movement and change are constantly renewing the world, just as the continuous process of time is constantly renewing the years. ——《沉思录》马可奥勒留(Marcus Aurelius)
