我們對(duì)自然的自覺認(rèn)識(shí)所能解決的最直接且在某種意義上最重要的問題,是對(duì)未來事件的預(yù)測(cè),以便我們能根據(jù)這種預(yù)測(cè)安排當(dāng)前的事務(wù)。
創(chuàng)造就是抵抗——抵抗沉默,抵抗遺忘。
未來不是我們進(jìn)入的東西。未來是我們創(chuàng)造的東西。
So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
最好的感覺是當(dāng)你知道自己做得一切正確,賽車狀態(tài)完美的時(shí)候。
我寫作是為了揭露自己,理解自己。
最偉大的故事是那些挑戰(zhàn)我們信念的故事。
