我们一次次地换马，路也越赶越远，现在想回头也来不及了，于是我选择继续前行。此刻，晨雾在一片肃穆中升起，世界在我面前徐徐展开。
We changed again, and yet again, and it was now too late and too far to go back, and I went on. And the mists had all solemnly risen now, and the world lay spread before me.
— Great Expectations, Novelist, Charles Dickens

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
