“The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill… The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest. It cannot be while you still live. ”
— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. , American jurist
比賽中的騎師抵達終點時不會馬上停下來;在全然停頓之前總會有一段緩步。而在人生中,這段步並不僅僅趨於止息,因為活著就是要不斷衝刺。
— 小奧利佛.荷姆斯(美國法學家)
