Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them—and then, the opportunity to choose.
自由不仅仅是随心所欲的机会；也不仅仅是在既定选项之间选择的机会。自由首先是制定可用选择的机会，对它们进行辩论——然后，才是选择的机会。
The world is a comedy to the wise, a tragedy to the foolish.
世界是如此不可预测。事情突然发生，出乎意料。我们想要感觉我们能控制自己的存在。在某些方面我们是，在某些方面我们不是。
