I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.

-- Alexis de Tocqueville 托克维尔

我不禁担心，人们可能会把每一种新理论都看成是一种危险，把每一项创新都看成是一种辛苦的麻烦，把每一项社会进步都看成是走向革命的第一步，而他们可能会完全拒绝前进。
