"Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit."
在你合适的年龄读到的故事永远不会完全离开你。你可能会忘记是谁写的或者故事叫什么名字。有时候你会忘记具体发生了什么,但如果一个故事触动了你,它会一直伴随着你,萦绕在你脑海中那些你很少去的地方。
The ability to be alone is the ability to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those who can be alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another human being—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.
科学中的创造力来自于将别人没想到要联系的想法联系起来。
如果你想成为最好的,你必须能够承受最坏的。
I’ve learned to embrace my flaws, because they make me who I am.
