真正理解某人的唯一方法就是站在他们的立场上走一英里。
The only way to truly understand someone is to stand in their shoes and walk a mile.
The novel is a mirror carried along a high road.
The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.
