If we are to survive, we must have ideas, vision, and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself.

  • -- Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. 小阿瑟·M·施莱辛格

如果我们要生存下去,我们必须有思想、远见和勇气。这些东西很少是由委员会制定的。在我们的智力和道德生活中,一切重要的事情都始于一个人在一个房间里独自面对自己的思想和良知。
