Life is a series of small dramas, played out in the shadow of larger ones.

"A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead."

"A writer is a world trapped in a person."

"Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition."

事物是甜还是苦，尝试过的人才能辨别；道路有平坦与险阻，走过的人才知道。

"To read is to travel without moving; to write is to move without traveling."

I think people believe in heaven because they don’t like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don’t like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the rubbish.

In the realm of mathematics, every problem is an opportunity to discover something new.

适合一个人的鞋子会夹痛另一个人的脚，不存在适合一切人的生活方式。
