People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken. You see them going around with notebooks, scraping the dirt off gravestones, reading microfilm, just in the hope of seeing this trickle in time, making a connection, rescuing one thing from the rubbish.

The most profound technologies are those that become invisible because they are so deeply embedded in our lives.

成为人类就是有缺陷，而有缺陷才是真实的。

O passado é uma ilusão, o futuro é um mistério, o presente é uma dádiva.

The present is the past rolled up for action, and the past is the present unrolled for understanding.

穷人并不懒惰；他们只是被困在一个让他们很难摆脱贫困的系统中。

The present is the point at which time touches eternity.

不是缺乏爱，而是缺乏友谊使婚姻不幸福。
