I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.

  • -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 圣埃斯库里

无论我做什么或说什么,我都没有权利在一个人的眼里贬低他。重要的不是我对他的看法;这是他对自己的看法。破坏一个人的自尊是一种罪过。
