"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success."
有成就感的人会把世界看成一个友好的世界,并乐于看到它照原样保持下去,但失意者却会乐于看到世界急遽改变。
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
