"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them."

"The difference between a happy marriage and a miserable one... consists of about ten continued acts of stupidity or kindness, depending on the direction."

"The world is full of stories, and each one is a window into a different reality."

译文：一心想求取科举功名的人，不一定能体会到琴棋书画的乐趣；追求生命境界的人，不能没有经世济民的才能。赏析：读书或做事，我们不能总是带着功利性极强的目的去。目的越强，中间的乐趣无法体会，其结果往往事与愿违。如果我们抱着一颗平常心，往往会有意想不到的收获。那些道德品质高尚的人大多博学有才，他们用自身的言行去改变周围的人，去改变这个社会。
