Leaders, more often than not, are hostage to the socio-political environment that produces them, rather than its shapers. Sadat gained a privileged place in history and achieved immortality the moment he fled from the comfortable prison of inertia, and from the pantomime solidarity and hollow rhetorical cohesion of Arab summits.
大多数的领导人都是他们所来自的社会政治环境的人质，而不是去塑造这些社会政治环境。当萨达特逃离惰性的安逸的牢笼以及阿拉伯峰会外表上的亲密以及口头上空洞的团结时，他赢得了在历史上的独特地位和不朽的声名。
