We ripen intellectually by letting in as much of the universe's complexity as we can. Morally we ripen by making our choices. And we ripen spiritually by openig our eyes to Creation's endless detail.——Richard Wolkomir, American writer我们就像小麦,生长在土地上等待着成熟。通过尽可能多吸收宇宙的复杂性使我们智力上成熟,通过各种选择使我们道德上成熟,通过睁开眼睛看到创世纪的无尽的细节使我们心灵上成熟。美国作家 沃克摹.R.
