The will of the people， moreover， practically means the will of the most numerous or the most active part of the people； the majority， or those who succeed in making themselves accepted as the majority； the people， consequently may desire to oppress a part of their number； and precautions are as much needed against this as against any other abuse of power. The limitation， therefore， of the power of government over individuals loses none of its importance when the holders of power are regularly accountable to the community， that is， to the strongest party therein

实际情况中，人民的意愿指的不过是人民中人数最多或发言最积极那部分人的意愿；多数人，或那些成功地控制主流发言权的人可以利用他们的“民主权利”去压迫他们以外的任何人。这种“多数人的暴政”和任何其他滥用权力的行为一样，都需要采取措施来防止这种情况发生。因此，即使在一个拥有政府时时刻刻能被民众审查的民主社会中，政府权力的限制依然未失去其重要性。

年轻人。你喜欢装出一副蛮横无理的样子，我倒希望你真有装扮出的一半蛮横，那就好了。

失败对我们是有好处的，我们得祝福灾难，我们是灾难之子。

罗曼·罗兰

小说不仅仅是故事；它是一面反映人性和社会复杂性的镜子。

A novel is not just a story; it is a mirror reflecting the complexities of human nature and society.

何塞·安东尼奥·拉莫斯·苏科

作家的唯一责任是对他的艺术负责。如果他是个好作家，他会完全无情...如果一个作家必须抢劫他的母亲，他不会犹豫；

The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one... If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is worth any number of old ladies.
