Freeing hostages is like putting up a stage set, which you do with the captors, agreeing on each piece as you slowly put it together; then you leave an exit through which both the captor and the captive can walk with sincerity and dignity.

  • -- Terry Waite 泰瑞·威特

释放人质就像搭建一个舞台,你和绑架者一起搭建舞台,慢慢地把每一件东西组合在一起,然后达成一致;然后你离开一个出口,通过这个出口,捕获者和被捕获者都可以真诚而有尊严地行走。
