最好的想法来自那些最接近问题的人。

The first fruit of this imagination - and the first lesson of the social science that embodies it - is the idea that the individual can understand his own experience and gauge his own fate only by locating himself within his period, that he can know his own chances in life only by becoming aware of those of all individuals in his circumstances.

这种想象力的第一个成果——以及体现它的社会科学的第一个教训——是个人只有将自己置于他所处的时代中，才能理解自己的经历并衡量自己的命运，只有意识到所有处于他这种境况的个体的机会，他才能知道自己的生活机会。

赖特·米尔斯

赫尔曼·黑塞

今日社会的问题是，它把全世界变成了一个学校，每个人都穿着牛仔裤，每个人都一样。但并非如此，当生而平等的概念遇上现实中悬殊的不平等，巨大的压力就出现了。

The problem of modern society is it turns the whole world into a school. Everybody's wearing jeans, everybody's the same. And yet, they're not. So there's a spirit of equality combined with deep inequality, which can make for a very stressful situation.
