The first fruit of this imagination—and the first lesson of the social science that embodies it—is the idea that the individual can understand his own experience and gauge his own fate only by locating himself within his period, that he can know his own chances in life only by becoming aware of those of all individuals in his circumstances.
这种想象力的第一个成果——以及体现它的社会科学的第一个教训——是个人只有将自己定位在他的时代中，才能理解自己的经历并衡量自己的命运，只有意识到他所在环境中所有个体的机会，他才能知道自己的生活机会。
我不完美，我不声称自己是，我也不期望任何人完美。
生命是用来消耗的，不是用来储蓄的。
谦逊是科学家所能拥有的最大美德。
