真相很少是纯粹的，也从不简单。

We are all potential fossils still carrying within us the traces of our former selves.

In republican governments, men are all equal; equal they are also in despotic governments: in the former, because they are everything; in the latter, because they are nothing.

当我们意识到我们对生活、自己和周围世界的理解是多么的少时，真正的智慧就会降临到我们每个人身上。

释义：权力决策必须冷酷，优柔寡断者不配掌权。
