I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.

My scientific studies have afforded me great satisfaction; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.

一旦不再抱那么大的希望，我们就不会再这么愤怒了。《哲学的慰藉》

I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what's left is what you've achieved; what kind of person you were.

I want talent， not money. Talent will find its way.
