Alas, my Friends, credulous incredulity is a strange matter. But when a whole Nation is smitten with Suspicion, ... what help is there? Such Nation is already a mere hypochondriac bundle of diseases; as good as changed into glass; atrabiliar, decadent; and will suffer crises. Is not Suspicion itself the one thing to be suspected, as Montaigne feared only fear? [Carlyle, "French Revolution"]
唉,我的朋友們,輕信的懷疑是一件奇怪的事情。但當整個國家充滿懷疑時,還有什麼幫助呢?這樣的國家已經成爲了一堆疾病的偏執狂; 就像變成了玻璃一樣; 憂鬱的,衰落的; 並將遭受危機。難道懷疑本身不是唯一需要懷疑的事情嗎?正如蒙田只害怕恐懼一樣?[卡萊爾,《法國革命》]
