创作行为并不纯粹。历史证明了这一点。社会学提取了它。作家失去了伊甸园,写作是为了被阅读,并逐渐意识到他是需要负责的。
I'm just trying to be the best I can be.
今天种下的每一棵树都是留给后代的遗产。
"The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties."
2000年10月29日,在南京大学捐资设立杨振宁奖学金时,杨振宁表示,虽然我父亲是大学教授,但因为通货膨胀,家里很穷,生活很艰苦,是奖学金帮我度过了难关。近几年多次在大陆访问,看到不少青年学生因家境困难而影响学业,感到很伤心,所以就有了这么个想法。杨振宁说
The energy you put out is the energy you get back.
I'm not a trend. I'm an icon.
The future is a promise we may not live to see.
能源的未来不在于燃烧过去,而在于用明天的创新为现在提供动力。
