We're always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood， something immense. But why must it be? What if， instead of all this， you suddenly find just a little room there， something like a village bath-house， grimy， and spiders in every corner， and that's all eternity is.
—Crime and Punishment， Novelist， Fyodor Dostoevsky
我们总以为永恒是难以理解的概念，是广大无边的事物。但何以见得呢？说不定根本不是这么回事，或许有天你突然发现有那么一间小房子，就跟乡下的澡堂似的，脏兮兮的，墙角爬满了蜘蛛，那才是永恒。
——《罪与罚》费奥多尔·陀思妥耶夫斯基，小说家
Eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
活在当下，就意味着活在永恒里。
——维特根斯坦，哲学家
