『執筆之時，正值德國哲學家漢娜•鄂蘭（Hannah Arendt）的108歲誕辰，我在佔領的旺角街頭中看過有人貼起印著她頭像的宣傳單張，粗略地闡釋了她最為著名的「平庸之惡」這個概念。然而，她在《黑暗時代的人們》中，曾經寫過這段話︰
「即使是在最黑暗的時代，人們還是有期望光明的權利，而光明與其說是來自於理論與觀念，不如說是來自於凡夫俗子所發出的螢螢微光，在他們的起居作息中，這微光雖然搖曳不定，但卻照亮周遭，並在他們的有生之年流瀉於大地之上。」』
Hannah Arendt

這本書我90年代末讀過，因為我習慣將精彩部分折頁. 不過 ，現在多忘記了. 或許受 I. Berlin 對她的評價之影響，我沒深入她的著作---過去十年，她的作品多已有翻譯本了. 2013年，更有她的電影，所以大家經常談她

Arendt wrote about love in her book The Human condition when she fell in love with Heidegger who was her professor.
‘Love, although it is one of the rarest occurrences in human lives, possesses an unequalled power of self- revelation and an unequalled clarity for the disclosure of who, precisely because it is unconcerned to the point of total unworldliness with what the loved person may be, with his qualities and shortcomings no less than with his achievements, failing and transgressions…Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.’
