2000年10月29日,在南京大学捐资设立杨振宁奖学金时,杨振宁表示,虽然我父亲是大学教授,但因为通货膨胀,家里很穷,生活很艰苦,是奖学金帮我度过了难关。近几年多次在大陆访问,看到不少青年学生因家境困难而影响学业,感到很伤心,所以就有了这么个想法。杨振宁说
The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'
I'm not a rapper, I'm a movie star.
Technology should serve people, not the other way around.
