Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.

释义：即使看透世界本质，我们仍要在虚无中创造意义。

We are all prisoners of our own memories.

我知道无论我变得多么优秀，我总能进步。
