The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.

To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.

The will of the people, moreover, practically means the will of the most numerous or the most active part of the people; the majority, or those who succeed in making themselves accepted as the majority; the people, consequently may desire to oppress a part of their number; and precautions are as much needed against this as against any other abuse of power.

Transparency builds credibility, and credibility builds long-term success.

进步的方法是承认无知。

引力波的探测为我们打开了一扇观察宇宙的新窗口。

我热切希望指出真正的尊严和人类幸福存在于什么之中。

想象力是我们剩下的唯一自由领土。
