KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
我是自由的,因为我知道只有我一个人对我所做的每件事负有道德责任。我是自由的,不管我周围有什么规则。如果我觉得可以忍受,我就忍受;如果我发现它们太令人讨厌,我会打破它们。我是自由的,因为我知道只有我一个人对我所做的每件事负有道德责任。

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.

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。
