我们无法看到眼前的事物,除非有人向我们指出它们,如果情况有时不是那么严重的话,那会很有趣。我认为,我们将过于依赖别人的讲述、展示和教导,而不是利用我们自己的眼睛、大脑和创造力,而这些能力可能和其他人的一样好。
(Our inability to see things that are right before our eyes, until they are pointed out to us, would be amusing if it were not at times so serious. We are coming, I think, to depend too much on being told and shown and taught, instead of using our own eyes and brains and inventive faculties, which are likely to be just as good as any other person's.)
