Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.

  • -- Vaclav Havel 瓦茨拉夫·哈维尔

希望是一种心态,而不是世界。从这种深刻而有力的意义上讲,希望并不等同于一切顺利带来的喜悦,也不等同于愿意投资那些显然正在走向成功的企业,而是一种因为好事而努力工作的能力。
