Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

-- Eugene V. Debs 尤金·V·德布斯

多年前，我认识到我与所有生物都有亲缘关系，我下定决心，我不比地球上最卑贱的人强一点点。我当时说过，现在也说过，只要有下层阶级，我就在其中;只要有犯罪的成分，我也有;只要有一个灵魂在监狱里，我就没有自由。
