范伯登

The ideas of economists and political philosophers， both when they are right and when they are wrong， are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men， who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence， are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.

无论是正确的还是错误的，经济学家和政治哲学家的思想都比通常理解的有力。确实，世界不受其他任何事物统治。自信不被知识分子影响的那些所谓务实的人，往往只是几个过时经济学家思想的奴隶。（Concluding Notes. p. 383-384）

凯恩斯

文明是一条有岸的河流。河流有时充满了人们杀戮、偷窃、喊叫和做历史学家通常记录的事情的血，而在岸上，不被注意，人们建造家园，做爱，抚养孩子，唱歌，写诗，甚至雕刻雕像。文明的故事是发生在岸上的故事。

Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks.
