教学不是注满一桶水，而是点燃一把火

I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.

The most exciting discoveries often come from looking at old problems in completely new ways.

Every life is a novel waiting to be written.
