"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."

过去是远处的一支蜡烛：近得让你无法放弃，远得无法给你安慰。

释义：推究古代的事例来验证今天的情况，从而避免困惑；先揣度事情的始末，后仔细考虑，从而应对突发情况。这是对借鉴历史、谨慎行事的智慧的强调。 

技术本身并不重要，重要的是你相信人性本善且智慧。
