Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

  • -- Eugene V. Debs 尤金·V·德布斯

多年前,我认识到我与所有生物都有亲缘关系,我下定决心,我不比地球上最卑贱的人强一点点。我当时说过,现在也说过,只要有下层阶级,我就在其中;只要有犯罪的成分,我也有;只要有一个灵魂在监狱里,我就没有自由。
