亚当·米奇尼克(Adam Michnik)名言

Politics is the art of achieving political goals - of achieving what is possible in a given situation - that is, in a situation that has its conditions and its limits.

政治是实现政治目标的艺术-在给定情况下（即在有条件和局限的情况下）实现可能的目标。

The Polish freedom movement of 1968 lost its confrontation with police violence; the Prague Spring was crushed by the armies of five Warsaw Pact members. But in both countries, 1968 gave birth to a new political consciousness.

1968年的波兰自由运动失去了与警察暴力的对抗；布拉格之春被五位华沙公约成员的军队击碎。但是在这两个国家，1968年催生了新的政治意识。

If you're powerful, you are much more likely to be blind and deaf to signals from outside.

如果您有能力，那么您很可能对外界的信号视而不见并且充耳不闻。

After the French Revolution, it was not the treason of the king that was in question; it was the existence of the king. You have to be very careful when you judge and execute somebody for being a symbol.

法国大革命后，问题不是国王的叛国罪，而是国王的叛国罪。那是国王的存在。当您判断和处决某人为象征时，必须非常小心。

Poland is an ally of the United States of America. It was our duty to show that we are a reliable, loyal, and predictable ally. America needed our help, and we had to give it.

波兰是美利坚合众国的盟友。我们的职责是表明我们是一个可靠，忠诚和可预测的盟友。美国需要我们的帮助，我们不得不给予帮助。

France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything.

法国永远不能接受它不再是文化世界的主导力量。法国右派和法国左派都是如此。他们一直认为美国人是原始牛仔或农民，不了解任何东西。

I consider that 9/11 was the day when war was started against my own work and against myself. Even though we are not sure of the links, Iraq was one of the countries that did not lower its flags in mourning on 9/11.

我认为9/11是针对我自己的工作和自己发动战争的一天。尽管我们不确定这些联系，伊拉克还是在9/11哀悼中没有降低其国旗的国家之一。
