"Blindness, it's an affliction that prevents people from seeing what is right in front of them. Like the wives who can't detect the jealousy that consumes their husbands. The women unable to see that a rival might also be a friend. The men who stay oblivious to the guilt that lies deep within them. Yes, the world is filled with those who cannot see. The most dangerous are the ones who stay blind to the evil within their own hearts. How do we protect ourselves from these people? First, we have to open our own eyes and find them before they find us." 
盲目是种折磨，使人无法明辨是非。就好像妻子没有发现丈夫产生的嫉妒心，就好像女人意识不到对手也可能成为朋友，就好像男人无视内心深处的负罪感。没错，世界上到处都有盲目的人，其中最危险的莫过于那些无视自己内心邪恶的人。我们该怎么保护自己，避开这些人呢？首先，我们得睁大眼睛，在他们找到我们之前就发现他们的踪迹。
