多少人用真心或假意，爱过你的美貌和俏丽短暂的青春，但只有一个人爱你朝圣者的灵魂，爱你渐渐衰老的脸上的悲叹。 - 每日文摘

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

尼采最大的优点是懂得如何保护自己免于圣洁，要是他放任天然的冲动，他就会变成一个帕斯卡尔，外加众圣徒的全部癫狂。

Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select—doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.

给我一打健康的婴儿，以及我指定的养育环境，我保证能把其中随机选出的任何一个训练成我选定的任何类型的专家——医生、律师、艺术家、商人，甚至乞丐和小偷，不论他的天赋、爱好、倾向、能力、职业和种族。

约翰·华生

In a way, I've got some bad news, particularly to anybody who's come to Oxford from abroad. There's a real problem with snobbery, because sometimes people from outside the U.K. imagine that snobbery is a distinctively U.K. phenomenon, fixated on country houses and titles. The bad news is that's not true. Snobbery is a global phenomenon; we area global organization, this is a global phenomenon. What is a snob? A snob is anybody who takes a small part of you, and uses that to come to a complete vision of who you are. That is snobbery.

对那些来访牛津大学的外国友人，我有一个坏消息，这里的人都很势利。有时候，英国以外的人会想象，势利是英国人特有的个性，来自那些乡间别墅和头衔爵位。坏消息是，并不只是这样，势利是一个全球性的问题，我们是个全球性的组织，这是个全球性的问题，它确实存在。势利是什么？，势利是以一小部分的你，来判别你的全部价值，那就是势利。
