我所追求的强壮不是一争胜负的强壮。我不希求用于反击外力的强壮。我希求的是接受外力、忍耐外力的强壮，是能够静静地忍受不公平、不走运、不理解、误解和悲伤等种种情况的强壮。

我很喜欢圣奥古斯丁在“上帝之城”里的一句话，他说“以社会地位评价人是一种罪”。用现在的口吻说，看一个人的名片来决定你是否要和他交谈是罪。对圣奥古斯丁来说，人的价值不在他的社会地位，只有神可以决定一个人的价值，他将在天使围绕、小号奏鸣，天空破开的世界末日给于最后审判，如果你是像我一样的世俗论者，这想法太疯狂了，但这想法有它的价值。

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

了解人是一门最高深的艺术，便是最伟大的哲人、诗人、宗教家、小说家、政治家、医生、律师，都只能掌握一些原则，不能说对某些具体的实例——个人——有彻底的了解。人真是矛盾百出，复杂万分，神秘到极点的动物。
