Mathematics is the language of the universe, and through it, we can unlock the secrets of existence.
数学是宇宙的语言,通过它,我们可以解开存在的秘密。
Don‘t bother fighting the old; just build the new.
Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.
——在上海中国国民党本部会议演说,1920年11月4日
Art is humanity's last line of defense.
