把这一句，留给此刻的你

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

几个世纪以来，死刑常常伴随着野蛮的改良，一直试图遏制犯罪;然而,犯罪依然存在。为什么?因为人的本能在交战，并不像法律所宣称的那样，是处于平衡状态的恒常力量。

— Albert Camus 阿尔伯特·加缪
