"Men who believe themselves to be good,who do not search their own souls,most often commit the worst atrocities.A man who sees himself evil will restrain himself.It is only when we do evil in the belief that we do good that we pursue it wholeheartedly."
"那些相信自己為善,那些不持續檢視自己靈魂的人們,經常犯下最可怕的暴行.一個認為自己邪惡的人會克制自己.只有當我們在從事暴行卻抱持著自己為善的信念時,我們才會真正全心全意的追求邪惡"
"If I may be so bold,your lordship,I'm glad you question yourself.Men don't become good by performing an occasional kindly deed.You must constantly reexamine your thoughts and acts,question your virtue"
"大人,請容許我大膽的說,我很高興你會質疑自己.人們不會因為偶爾的善行而成為好人,而是必須不斷重新審查自己的思想舉動,質疑自己的道德觀(才能成為好人)"
