And what I noted, since the really big ideas carry 95 percent of the freight, it wasn’t at all that hard for me to pick up all the big ideas and all the big disciplines and make them a standard part of my mental routines.

我喜欢星星。我想这是永恒的幻觉。我的意思是，它们总是在爆发、坍塌和熄灭。但从这里，我可以假装……我可以假装事物是永恒的。我可以假装生命比瞬间更长久。神来了，神又走了。凡人闪烁、闪耀然后消逝。世界不会持久；星星和星系是短暂的、转瞬即逝的东西，像萤火虫一样闪烁，然后消失在寒冷和尘埃中。但我可以假装。
