"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."

我写作是为了给无声者以声音。

An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.

Your smarts will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvels. We humans -- plodding as we are -- will astonish ourselves. We'll invent ways to generate clean energy and a lot of it. Atom by atom， we'll assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs. This month comes the extraordinary but also inevitable news that we've synthesized life. In the coming years， we'll not only synthesize it， but we'll engineer it to specifications. I believe you'll even see us understand the human brain. Jules Verne， Mark Twain， Galileo， Newton -- all the curious from the ages would have wanted to be alive most of all right now. As a civilization， we will have so many gifts， just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.

投资新技术不是可选的，而是能源未来的必要条件。

世界上最伟大的事情就是知道如何属于自己。

The best way to be successful is to be patient.
