Life has always seemed to me like a plant that lives on its rhizome. Its true life is invisible, hidden in the rhizome. The part that appears above ground lasts only a single summer. What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rhizome remains.
我总是感到,生活就象萌发于地下根茎的植株。生活的真正生命是不可见的,它深藏于地下根茎中,而显露出地面的可见一斑部分只能生存一个夏季。我们所见到的是将会消逝的花簇,而根茎长驻。
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
孔子说:“遇到可以说的人却不说,就会失去可与说话的人;遇到不可说的人却说了,就是说话冒失。聪明的人既不去可交谈的人,也不言谈冒失。”
名声不是凭空产生的,赞誉也不会自己增长,只有成就了功业,名声才会到来。 
"We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game."
人生は、思い通りにならないことが美しい。
