A good system design is one that makes it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing.
一个好的系统设计是使做正确的事情变得容易，做错误的事情变得困难。
写诗就是用文字捕捉生命的本质。
建筑之美在于它能够将人们聚集在一起。
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
独裁统治滋生糟糕的文学，因为它们滋生恐惧和顺从。
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.
