Authority is not a quality one person "has," in the sense that he has property or physical qualities. Authority refers to an interpersonal relation in which one person looks upon another as somebody superior to him.

  • -- Erich Fromm 埃里希·弗洛姆

权威不是一个人“拥有”的品质,也就是说他拥有财产或身体素质。权威是指人与人之间的一种关系,在这种关系中,一个人认为另一个人比他优越。
