The general struggle for existence of animate beings is not a struggle for raw materials—these are for organisms in ample supply—nor for energy which exists in plenty in any body in the form of heat, but a struggle for entropy, which becomes available through the transition of energy from the hot sun to the cold earth.
生物普遍存在的生存斗争不是为了原材料——这些对生物来说是充足的——也不是为了能量，能量以热的形式在任何物体中都大量存在，而是为了熵，熵是通过能量从炽热的太阳转移到寒冷的地球而变得可用的。
I turn myself into a dot and merge with the universe.
Every work of art is a confession.
有真才能的人不依恃才能，有真学问的人不夸耀学问。
