We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or any one class. But we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having.

  • -- Jane Addams 珍妮·亚当斯

我们已经学会说,只有把善扩展到整个社会,才能使任何一个人或任何一个阶层得到保障。但是,我们还没有学会给这句话加上一句:除非所有的人、所有的阶级都为一件好事做出贡献,否则我们甚至不能肯定它是否值得拥有。
