In the internet age, three months is like a century.

对于那些经历过审查的人来说，审查从未结束。它是想象力上的烙印，永远影响着那些遭受过它的人。

释义：看到已经发生的事情要谨慎对待将要发生的事情，厌恶某种行为轨迹的人必须避开它。害怕危险的人才能平安，害怕灭亡的人才能生存。这是对谨慎行事、防患未然的智慧的强调。

文化比战略更重要。

疯狂与天才之间的界限是由那些害怕两者的人划定的。

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.
