The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

A play is not an essay, nor should it be made into one.

最危险的毒药是成就感，解药是每晚思考明天如何做得更好。

出自培根，郦波在讲座中引用并阐释

我认为你不应该为你的热情道歉。

作家是一个写作的人，而不是一个被写的人。
