*时有人类幼崽哭闹,而其父母总用更大的嘘声压过孩子的哭声,不似安抚而更像针锋相对的压制。大概「有问题就解决提出问题的人」的思想是在社会传统和每个人的潜意识中恒久传承的。(哎好吧理解一个功能发育还不完善的小屁孩真的很难)

日出是在 Lake Superior 上空,辽阔的镜面彼端冒出了奇怪的红色发光体(并没有料到日出会在北侧舷窗被观测到)。从刺眼的红到眩目的橘,湖面为底的画布上逐一被描出的是云纱、云索、云梯、云海,直到舷窗周围凝结的冰晶纤毫毕现。

率先浮出天际的是一线近乎紫的靛蓝。湛蓝、天蓝、天青、沙黄、土黄、橘黄、锈红,宏伟的三棱镜逐渐醒来。(橘与黄的分界是一条坚定的黑线。起初我以为那是地平线,而不规则的橙红光带则是某种传说中的黄昏之海。有可能是北方的 Hudson Bay 吗)…再到后来,视野里只剩下了不断掠过的耀目的白与恒定安静的蓝。

I hope you'll eat some of my hot rolls. You have to eat and keep going. Eating is a small, good thing in a time like this. 我希望你们能尝尝我的热面包卷。你们得吃东西,得撑下去。碰上这种时候,吃东西就是一件小小的好事。 (A Small, Good Thing, Raymond Carver)

Today there are too many voices, too many media, too many histories, too many countries, ethnicities, genders, classes, too much to convey, too much to absorb or master or remember. Today we have lived through too much to not understand that the past is never fixed, quiet, its issues settled once and for all. We know that other explanations have been made and soon new ones will be made for what we once believed, or thought, or did, or hoped to do, or would have liked to do.转载²This change does not only effect events in the past, but also those who feel their task is to preserve them: we historians.——Adventures of a Postmodern Historian: Living and Writing the Past

…most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance…——Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World, 1995 「我担心,以后在重要的媒体中,实质性内容将逐渐衰落,30秒的片段会流行,节目只具有最低的共识,充斥着对伪科学和迷信的盲目介绍,尤其还有一种对无知的庆祝。」——卡尔·萨根,《魔鬼出没的世界》,1995年
