Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.

  • -- Isaiah Berlin 以赛亚·伯林

不公正、贫穷、奴役、无知——这些都可以通过改革或革命来解决。但是人不仅仅是靠与罪恶作斗争来生活的。他们生活在积极的目标下,个人的和集体的,各种各样的目标,很少是可以预测的,有时是不相容的。
