“If there is one place on the face of the earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India. … For more than 30 centuries, the tree of vision, with all its thousand branches and their millions of twigs, has sprung from this torrid land, the burning womb of the Gods. It renews itself tirelessly showing no signs of decay.”— Romain Rolland
如果说地球上有一个地方，从人类最早开始梦想存在的时候起，所有活着的人的梦想都在那里找到了家，那就是印度。……30多个世纪以来，视觉之树及其上千根枝桠和上百万根细枝，从这片炎热的土地，即众神燃烧的子宫里长出来。它不知疲倦地自我更新，没有腐烂的迹象。
