——临终时对孔祥熙说，1925年3月

The best leaders are those who listen more than they speak.

对正确的需要，是我们庸俗思想的标志。

Music should take you to another place.

We must invest in research and education to ensure the next generation is equipped to lead the industry forward.

And the thing about a successful life is that a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They're sucked in from other people; chiefly, if you're a man, your father, and if you're a woman, your mother. Psychoanalysis has been drumming home this message for about 80 years. No one's quite listening hard enough, but I very much believe it's true.
