他说，关于世界的真相是，任何事情都是可能的。如果你不是从出生就看到了这一切，从而失去了它的陌生感，它对你来说就会显得像是一个魔术表演中的帽子戏法，一个发烧的梦，一个充满了既没有类比也没有先例的幻象的恍惚，一个巡回的嘉年华，一个在许多泥泞的田野中多次投掷后最终目的地无法言说且灾难性超出想象的迁徙帐篷表演。
The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
The true measure of success is not just profit, but the positive legacy we leave for future generations.
如果你不愿意冒险，就永远无法创造出真正非凡的东西。
生活中最大的荣耀不在于从不跌倒，而在于每次跌倒后都能站起来。
【译文】 孔子说：“明智的人喜欢水，仁慈的人喜欢山；明智的人好动，仁慈的人好静；明智的人快乐，仁慈的人长寿。”
