"To act is to live a thousand lives, and in each, find a piece of yourself."

2000年10月29日，在南京大学捐资设立杨振宁奖学金时，杨振宁表示，虽然我父亲是大学教授，但因为通货膨胀，家里很穷，生活很艰苦，是奖学金帮我度过了难关。近几年多次在大陆访问，看到不少青年学生因家境困难而影响学业，感到很伤心，所以就有了这么个想法。杨振宁说

"The power of imagination is the key to unlocking the doors of reality."

Our industry is going through a period of significant change, and we must adapt to stay competitive.

I don't believe in waiting for inspiration. I believe in working.
