那些离别和失望的伤痛，已经发不出声音来了。 - 每日文摘

The weight of evidence for an extraordinary claim must be proportioned to its strangeness.

对于非凡的主张，证据的分量必须与其奇特程度成正比。

皮埃尔-西蒙·拉普拉斯

没有欲望只能说是麻木不仁。

陆小曼

艺术乃寂寞之道，非寂寞不能为艺术。

张大千

爱不必请求，也不可要求。爱必须成为自己明确肯定的力量。它便不再是被牵引，而是去牵引。

赫尔曼·黑塞

The key to trading is to have no ego.

交易的关键是没有自我。

史蒂夫·科恩

当女人发现了一个男人的爱慕之情是非常明显而慷慨布施的，她对这人的看法就会降低。她认为世界上只有一个人应备受恭维，那就是她自己。

西奥多·德莱塞

在制造分秒的时候，钟表把时间从人类的活动中分离开来，并且使人们相信时间是可以以精确而可计量的单位独立存在的。分分秒秒的存在不是上帝的意图，也不是大自然的产物，而是人类运用自己创造出来的机械和自己对话的结果。

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast， and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old， and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't， and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy， I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires， a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil， baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor， and she wanted me to follow my passion.

追随自己内心的热情 16年前，我萌生了创办亚马逊的想法。彼时我面对的现实是互联网使用量以每年2300%的速度增长，我从未看到或听说过任何增长如此快速的东西。创建涵盖几百万种书籍的网上书店的想法令我兴奋异常，因为这个东西在物理世界里根本无法存在。那时我刚刚30岁，结婚才一年。我告诉妻子MacKenzie想辞去工作，然后去做这件疯狂的事情，很可能会失败，因为大部分创业公司都是如此，而且我不确定那之后会发生什么。MacKenzie告诉我，我应该放手一搏。在我还是一个男孩儿的时候，我是车库发明家。我曾用水泥填充的轮胎、雨伞和锡箔以及报警器制作了一个自动关门器。我一直想做一个发明家，MacKenzie支持我追随内心的热情。
