My country is wherever liberty lives. - 每日文摘

忧郁是一只近在咫尺的洋葱，散发着独特而辛辣的味道，剥开它紧密黏黏的鳞片时，我们会泪流满面。

毕淑敏

一切皆有可能。不要给自己设限。

Anything is possible. Don’t put limits on yourself.

尤塞恩·博尔特

柏拉图在著名的“洞穴隐喻”里说，我们大家都生活在一个洞穴中。你看着墙上的影子，以为那是真实的世界。其实，是火光把洞穴之外的活动，用影子的方式投射到墙上而已。由于你生活在洞穴里，并不能意识到这一切。

李善友

你不需要改变自己的任何一点。

You don't need to change a single thing about yourself.

泰勒·斯威夫特

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

最痛苦的事莫过于在过分爱一个人的过程中失去自我，忘记了自己也很特别。

欧内斯特·海明威

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast， and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old， and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't， and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy， I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires， a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil， baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor， and she wanted me to follow my passion.

追随自己内心的热情 16年前，我萌生了创办亚马逊的想法。彼时我面对的现实是互联网使用量以每年2300%的速度增长，我从未看到或听说过任何增长如此快速的东西。创建涵盖几百万种书籍的网上书店的想法令我兴奋异常，因为这个东西在物理世界里根本无法存在。那时我刚刚30岁，结婚才一年。我告诉妻子MacKenzie想辞去工作，然后去做这件疯狂的事情，很可能会失败，因为大部分创业公司都是如此，而且我不确定那之后会发生什么。MacKenzie告诉我，我应该放手一搏。在我还是一个男孩儿的时候，我是车库发明家。我曾用水泥填充的轮胎、雨伞和锡箔以及报警器制作了一个自动关门器。我一直想做一个发明家，MacKenzie支持我追随内心的热情。
