现在，我不打算站在这里告诉你们，失败是有趣的。那段日子是我生命中的黑暗岁月，我不知道它是否代表童话故事里需要历经的磨难，更不知道自己还要在黑暗中走多久。很长一段时间里，前面留给我的只是希望，而不是现实。
Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.
文明的伟大进步，无论是在建筑、绘画、科学、文学、工业还是农业领域，都从未来自中央集权的政府。
没有什么会永远失去。在这个世界上，有一种痛苦的进步。既怀念我们留下的，又梦想着未来。
