I'm not afraid to be vulnerable in my songs.

The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.

当生存成为日常课题，长期计划便成了奢侈品。

Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.

Technology alone won't save us—it's how we apply it that matters.

Your smarts will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvels. We humans -- plodding as we are -- will astonish ourselves. We'll invent ways to generate clean energy and a lot of it. Atom by atom， we'll assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs. This month comes the extraordinary but also inevitable news that we've synthesized life. In the coming years， we'll not only synthesize it， but we'll engineer it to specifications. I believe you'll even see us understand the human brain. Jules Verne， Mark Twain， Galileo， Newton -- all the curious from the ages would have wanted to be alive most of all right now. As a civilization， we will have so many gifts， just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.
