真相并不总是最重要的；有时重要的是人们相信什么是真的。

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.

追求知识比知识本身更有价值。

"When I was a kid, I wanted to be Elvis. I wanted to be Michael. I wanted to be all those guys put together."

地质学不会妥协，我们的标准也不应该妥协。
