NECESSITY 需求

Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity, because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity.

Hannah Arendt

人如果不知道自己受到需求的支配，就無法真正自由，因為他的自由總是在他不斷嘗試從需求中解放自己（儘管從未完全成功）的過程中獲得的。

Necessity does everything well.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

出於需求能把事情做好。

Necessity never made a good bargain.

Benjamin Franklin

需求永遠無法有滿意的討價還價。

Necessity is the mother of attraction.

Luke Mckissack

需求是吸引力之母。

Only useless things are indispensable.

Francis Picabia

只有無用的東西是不可缺少的。

Necessity is the mother of invention, it is true -- but it's father is creativity, and knowledge is the midwife.

Jonathan Schattke

需要是發明之母，這句話沒錯 - 可是還要加上創意的父親及知識的接生婆。

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976), An Autobiography, 1977

我不認為需要是發明之母 - 就我個人觀點，發明直接來自遊手好閒，可能也來自於懶惰。就是要幫人省麻煩。

Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.

Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace, 1947

當我們身處邪惡的掌控中時，我們並不覺得它是邪惡的，反而視之為必須，甚至是責任。

Vacation used to be a luxury, however, in today's world, it has become a necessity.

在以前，休假是奢侈的，在今天卻成為必須的。
