The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
真相很少是纯粹的，也绝不简单。
Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life.
美玉和石块同匣并放，鱼眼和宝珠一起贯穿。劣马和骏马混杂不分，老牛驾辕，骏马两边。
引用计算机科学家Alan Kay的观点
The strength of liberal democracy lies in its ability to self-correct and reform.
