The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
万一禅关突然打破,美人如玉剑如长虹。
The only way to tell the truth is to speak with authority.
