数学是一种思维方式，而不仅仅是一堆事实。

You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing's sake, back home to aestheticism, to one's youthful idea of 'art' and beauty, back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermuda, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time—back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.

你无法回到家乡，回到你的家庭，回到你的童年，回到浪漫的爱情，回到年轻人对荣耀和名声的梦想，回到流亡，逃到欧洲和某个外国，回到抒情，为了唱歌而唱歌，回到唯美主义，回到你年轻时对“艺术”和美的想法，回到象牙塔，回到乡村的地方，回到百慕大的小屋，远离世界上所有的冲突和斗争，回到你失去并一直在寻找的父亲，回到可以帮助你、拯救你、减轻你负担的人，回到那些曾经看似永恒但一直在变化的旧形式和系统——回到时间和记忆的逃避。

托马斯·沃尔夫

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

想像力比知识更重要。因为知识是有限的，而想像力是无限,它包含了一切,推动着进步,是人类进化的源泉。

爱因斯坦

人间这出戏剧是只杀不死的九头鸟，一代代角色隐退，又一代代角色登台，仍然七情六欲，仍然悲欢离合，仍然是探索而至神秘、欲知而终于知不知，各种消息都在流传，万古不废。

史铁生

好奇心是求知欲之母：好奇心是一个人有所发现、有所成就的前提。

罗翔

中国人不但“不以戎首”、“不为祸始”，甚至于“不为福先”。所以凡事都不容易有改革；前驱和闯将，大抵是谁也怕得做。然而人性岂真能如道家所说的那样恬淡；欲得的却多。既然不敢径取，就只好用阴谋和手段。以此，人们也就日见其卑怯了，既是“不为最先”，自然也不敢“不耻最后”，所以虽以是一大堆群众，略见危机，便“纷纷作鸟兽散”了。

鲁迅

问题是，如果你打从心里相信，那些在社会顶层的人都是精英，同时你也暗示着，以一种残忍的方法，相信那些在社会底层的人，天生就该在社会底层，换句话说，你在社会的地位不是偶然，而都是你配得的，这种想法让失败变得更残忍。

The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.

阿兰·德波顿

不要轻易许下承诺，做不到的承诺，比没许下更可恶。

杜月笙

不管是黄昏还是初露曙色，茉莉花总是白的。

乔治·塞菲里斯

The future belongs to those who are willing to take risks today.

未来属于那些愿意在今天冒险的人。

比利·吉福德

I think we all have a little bit of that rebel in us. It's just a matter of how much you let it out.

我认为我们内心都有点叛逆。只是看你让它释放多少。

布拉德·皮特

世界在你掌中，你在谁掌上？世界在你梦里，你在谁梦里？
