I think it's realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: 'I despair. The world's no good.' That's a perverse idealist. It's practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That's very realistic.

  • -- Studs Terkel 特克尔

我认为有希望是现实的。一个人可能是一个固执的理想主义者,他会说最简单的话:‘我绝望了。这世界不好。“那是个固执的理想主义者。希望是现实的,因为希望是我们作为人类物种生存的希望。这是非常现实的。
