其实人跟树是一样的,越是向往高处的阳光,它的根就越要伸向黑暗的地底。
But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeks to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark, the deep - into evil.

尼采 《查拉图斯特拉如是说》3
其实,过度纯净就成了玻璃器皿,天天擦拭得玲珑剔透,总也无法改变它的小、薄、脆。不知哪一天,在某次擦拭中可能因稍稍用力过度而裂成碎片,而碎片还会割手。 何况,玻璃也是化合物质,哪里说得上绝对的纯净?
余秋雨 《中国文脉》1
尽管等常常落空,但是等本身就为一天的生活提供了色彩和意义。
