有什么方法可以解决刚才提到的这些焦虑呢？是有的。我想提出几项，先说“功绩主义”，也就是相信每个人的地位忠实呈现他的能力，我认为这种想法太疯狂了，我可以支持所有相信这个想法的，无论是左倾还是右倾的政治家，我同样相信功绩主义，但我认为一个完全彻底以能力取决地位的社会，是个不可能的梦想。

Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

当哥伦布遇到野蛮人时，似乎立刻就认识到他们的生活更多地满足着人类的本能。我认为渴望高尚的原始人生活这种返祖感情，是集体主义的主要根源。

苏格拉底

不幸，学识的光荣并不是洁白无瑕的：拉普拉斯、拉格朗热、梦热门、夏普塔尔、贝托莱之流，这些奇才曾经是骄傲的民主派，后来都变成拿破仑的最卑躬屈节的奴仆。为了文学的荣耀，必须说：新文学是自由的，才能是缺乏独立精神的；性格和才气并不相称，那些思想上升到天空顶点的人，没有能力将他们的心灵提高到比波拿巴的脚跟更高的位置：他们声称不需要上帝，因此他们需要暴君。
