  • -- Bruce Springsteen 布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀

在我最好的音乐里,隐藏着一种真正的爱国主义,但这是一种批判的、质疑的、常常是愤怒的爱国主义。

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man.

每个人必须自己决定什么是对的,什么是错的,什么是爱国的,什么不是。你不能逃避,要像个男人。无论对你自己还是对你的国家,对你的定罪作出反对的决定都是一个毫无资格和可以原谅的叛徒,让我给你贴上这样的标签吧。
