No one is willing to believe that adults too， like children， wander about this earth in a daze and， like children， do not know where they come from or where they are going， act as rarely as they do according to genuine motives， and are as thoroughly governed as they are by biscuits and cake and the rod.
—— The Sorrows of Young Werther， Writer， Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
没人乐意相信成人也像小孩子一样，都是在大地上茫然奔波，既不明白来自何处，也不清楚要去往何方。他们的行为，很少跟随内心真实的想法，而是彻底受到饼干的驱使、蛋糕的诱惑和棍棒的支配。
——《少年维特之烦恼》，作家，约翰·沃尔夫冈·冯·歌德
