Across the broken outer wall of the Puli Distillery, someone painted in crooked and irregular letters: "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!" People weren't surrendering in the face of disaster. What's more, there was a growing sense of compassion, of concern for the suffering of others. A true civil society must not be far off.
埔里酒廠破損的外牆上歪歪斜斜的幾個大字「打斷手骨顛倒勇」，正是人類不向災難屈服的志氣，再加上這次台灣社會充分表現的「人溺己溺」情操，我們的公民社會應為期不遠。
