狄更斯 (Charles Dickens)-「雙城記」開場引言
這是最好的時代，也是最壞的時代; 這是智慧的時代，也是愚蠢的時代; 這是篤信的時代，也是疑慮的時代; 這是光明的季節，也是黑暗的季節; 這是希望的春天，也是絕望的冬天; 我們什麼都有，也什麼都沒有; 我們全都會上天堂，也全都會下地獄。 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. 不管在什麼時間看，似乎都很符合現在的時空 但這也說明著人類 大部分的人類 在思想、心智與行為上 都沒有太大的長進 受限著無形的習氣 與尚未進化的社會氛圍 等多重影響下 讓我們的型為跟過去的人沒有什麼不同 有的只是型態上的改變 但本值卻是相同的 如果說 過去的歷史是一面鏡子 那麼現在的我們只是看著鏡子 並且不斷重複著鏡子的動作 將來的我們也會變成未來的人的鏡子 或是歷史小說 ... .... ------------------------ 攝影
