The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.

"History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveller."

All great truths begin as blasphemies.

一场以良好精神进行的激烈比赛，胜过一百次通过不公平手段获得的胜利。

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.

真正的挑战不是种得更多，而是用更少的资源种得更好。
