数学的本质不是使简单的事物复杂化,而是使复杂的事物简单化。
The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.
我建筑中的曲线不是随意的。它们是对环境、光线和运动的有目的回应。
路途再近,你不走,也不会到达。事情再小,不去做也不可能完成。
数学的目标是使简单的复杂化,使复杂的简单化。
People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken. You see them going around with notebooks, scraping the dirt off gravestones, reading microfilm, just in the hope of seeing this trickle in time, making a connection, rescuing one thing from the rubbish.
我是世界上最幸福的人。也许其他人以前说过这样的话,但没有一个说得那么有道理。我甚至比简还要快乐;她只是微笑,我是大笑。
办一件事都不能善始善终,就不要做很多事。
