如果只能有一种良好的设计,那便是让人和他们的爱人组成国家和军队。他们将成为最好的城邦治理者,避免一切耻辱的事情,争先恐后地取得荣誉。与爱人并肩作战的时候,即使是最平庸的人,也拥有战胜世界的力量。
——柏拉图《会饮篇》
And if there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their loves, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour, and emulating one another in honour; and when fighting at each other’s side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world.
Symposium by Plato
