* 《给五千年后子孙的信》 阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦 　　我们这个时代产生了许多天才人物，他们的发明可以使我们的生活适舒得多。我们早己利用机器的力量横渡海洋，并且利用机械力量可以使人类从各种辛苦繁重的体力劳动中最后解放出来。我们学会了飞行，我们用电磁波从地球的一个角落方便地同另一个角落互通讯息。 　但是，我们的商品生产和分配却完全无组织。人人都生活在恐惧的阴影里，生怕失业，遭受悲惨的贫困。而且，生活在不同的国家里的人民还不时的互相残杀。由于这些原因，所有的人一想到将来，都不得不提心吊胆和极端痛苦。所有这一切，都是由于群众的才智和品格，比起那些对于社会真正有价值的少数人来，是无可比拟地低下。　　我相信后代会以一种自豪的心情和正当的优越感来读这封信。 The World As I See It Albert Einstein 　　How strange is the lot of us mortals!

I regard class distinctions as unjustified and, in the last resort, based on force. I also believe that a simple and unassuming life is good for everybody, physically and mentally. 　　I do not at all believe in human freedom in the philosophical sense. Everybody acts not only under external compulsion but also in accordance with inner necessity. Schopenhauers saying, A man can do what he wants,but not want what he wants, has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth; it has been a continual consolation in the face of lifes hardships, my own and others, and an unfailing well-spring of tolerance.
