奇迹在相信它的人眼里才是奇迹。

歌德

只要在多走一小步，仿佛是向同一方向迈的一小步，真理变会变成错误。

Europe must not be a continent of nostalgia, it must be a continent of promise.

欧洲不应是一个怀旧的洲，而应是一个充满希望的洲。

是布莱克，布莱克·沃兹沃斯。怀特·沃兹沃斯是我哥哥，我们心心相通。就是看到一朵像牵牛花一样的小花，我都想哭出来。”我问：“你为啥哭？”“为啥，孩子？为啥？等你长大了就会明白啦。要知道，你也是个诗人。你成了诗人以后，任何一件事都会使你哭出来的。”我笑不出来。他问：“你喜欢妈妈吗？”“她不打我的时候，喜欢。”

维·苏·奈保尔

奈何桥上奈何愁，奈何桥下浣溪流，奈何人人奈何泪，奈何奈何洗春秋。

郭德纲

万物需要在岁月中成熟。没有谁生下来就是贤者。

塞万提斯

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast， and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old， and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't， and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy， I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires， a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil， baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor， and she wanted me to follow my passion.

追随自己内心的热情 16年前，我萌生了创办亚马逊的想法。彼时我面对的现实是互联网使用量以每年2300%的速度增长，我从未看到或听说过任何增长如此快速的东西。创建涵盖几百万种书籍的网上书店的想法令我兴奋异常，因为这个东西在物理世界里根本无法存在。那时我刚刚30岁，结婚才一年。我告诉妻子MacKenzie想辞去工作，然后去做这件疯狂的事情，很可能会失败，因为大部分创业公司都是如此，而且我不确定那之后会发生什么。MacKenzie告诉我，我应该放手一搏。在我还是一个男孩儿的时候，我是车库发明家。我曾用水泥填充的轮胎、雨伞和锡箔以及报警器制作了一个自动关门器。我一直想做一个发明家，MacKenzie支持我追随内心的热情。
