"Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith first, the trust part comes later."

The nightmare thought is that frightening people is the best way to get work out of them, and that somehow the crueler the environment, the more people will rise to the challenge. You want to think, who would you like as your ideal dad? And your ideal dad is somebody who is tough but gentle. And it's a very hard line to make. We need fathers, as it were, the exemplary father figures in society, avoiding the two extremes, which is the authoritarian disciplinarian on the one hand, and on the other, the lax, no-rules option.

梦魇是相信恐吓人们是刺激他们发奋的最好办法，或是环境越残酷，就会有越多人接受挑战。你必须想，你的理想父亲是怎样的？你的理想父亲往往是严厉又温和的，虽然这界限很难画定，我们社会需要的模范性人物是像一个理想父亲，不要走极端，不要完全集权、纯粹纪律，也不要模糊马虎，乱无规章。

新殖民地的建立者，无论他们最初可能设想的人类美德和幸福的乌托邦是什么，都无一例外地认识到，在他们最早的实际需求中，分配一部分处女地作为墓地，另一部分作为监狱的所在地。

The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison.
