自由不仅仅是随心所欲的机会；也不仅仅是在既定选项之间选择的机会。自由首先是制定可用选择的机会，对它们进行辩论——然后，是选择的机会。
Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them - and then, the opportunity to choose.
译文：如果要取得良好的人缘，赊给别人的东西不要收钱。赏析：要想赢得别人的尊重，我们有时要看淡身外之物。重视钱财但能看破钱财，不与小人争利，不失为君子一枚。
To write is to fight against oblivion.
