"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness."
在糟糕的时候抱有希望不仅仅是愚蠢的浪漫。这是基于人类历史不仅是残酷的历史,也是同情、牺牲、勇气和善良的历史。

"What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better."
