Reflection
对未知的恐惧永远不会消失,因为未知无限向外扩张,让你可怜兮兮地依附于任何已知的小庇护所: 一块饼干含有12卡路里,皮肤被割后会流血。”
―卡洛琳 · 凯特韦尔(美国著名的旅游作家,《国家地理探险》专栏作家)
The fear of an unknown never resolves, because the unknown expands infinitely outward, leaving you to cling pitifully to any small shelter of the known: a cracker has twelve calories; the skin, when cut, bleeds.”
― Caroline Kettlewell
