The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, bad at the bottom, exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors: accidents, accidents of birth, accidents of things dropping on people's heads, illnesses, etc. We will never get to grade them, never get to grade people as they should.

每一天都是产生影响的新机会。

正是因为国家倾向于愚蠢和卑劣，民主才有可能。

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.
