--Helena from "All's Well That Ends Well"

一切辦法都在我們自己，雖然我們把它諉之天意；注定人類運命的上天，給我們自由發展的機會，只有當我們自己冥頑不靈，不能利用這種機會的時候，我們的計畫才會張遭到挫折。——吳興華譯《終成眷屬》

William Shakespeare

"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie
Which we ascribe to heaven. The fated sky
Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull."
--Helena from "All's Well That Ends Well" (1.1.233)
