There's no one-size-fits-all solution to development challenges.

The Indian Revolution has been postponed indefinitely.

We are survival machines – robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes.

Money is overrated. Truly new things rarely need an abundance of money. If that was so， billionaires would have a monopoly on inventing new things， and they don’t.

Being poor is an advantage in innovation.

我认为我们已经经历了一个时期，太多的人被引导去理解，如果他们有问题，这是政府的工作来应对它。“我有一个问题，我会获得补助。”“我无家可归，政府必须给我住房。”他们把问题抛给社会。而且，你知道，没有社会这种东西。只有个人男性和女性以及家庭。除了通过人民，政府什么也做不了，而人民必须首先照顾自己。照顾自己是我们的责任，然后，也要照顾我们的邻居。人们太过于考虑权利，而忽视了义务。

The value of art lies in its ability to make us reconsider our assumptions.

"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
