No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.

  • -- Eugene Ionesco 尤内斯库

没有一个社会能够消除人类的悲伤,没有一个政治制度能够把我们从生活的痛苦、对死亡的恐惧和对绝对的渴望中解救出来。是人的条件决定了社会的条件,而不是社会条件决定人的条件。
