我从很小的时候起就对马基雅维利很着迷。我一直觉得他在历史上名声不好,而且他实际上是一个与我们现在所认为的马基雅维利主义者完全不同的人。他是一名共和党人。他不喜欢极权政府。
(I've been fascinated by Machiavelli since I was very young. I've always felt that he had a bad rap from history, and that he was actually a person quite unlike what we now think of as Machiavellian. He was a republican. He disliked totalitarian government.)
