“...each of us carries a distorting splinter out of some great shattered universal mirror...at least in his presence, men were whole again. To know each splinter might belong one must have some conception of the whole... and only a mind such as Aldous’s, cleansed of personal vanity, noticing and recording everything, and exploiting nothing, could achieve so broad a purpose.”
「我們每個人手中都只拿到一塊宇宙之鏡扭曲的碎片…至少在他面前，人又變得完整了。要知道這種碎片屬於哪裡，你必須對整體有某種概念。只有像阿道斯那樣個人虛榮已經清洗盡淨，覺察一切，記錄一切，從不剝削他人，才能夠達到如此遠大的目標。」
─肯恩‧威爾伯引述曼紐因(Yehudi Manuin)講阿道斯‧赫胥黎(Aldous Huxley)
