The most important thing about art is the work. The work is the most important thing.

剪辑师的工作是为故事服务，而不是为自我服务。

The past whispers to us through our genes.

成为我们自己，并成为我们能够成为的人，是生命的唯一目的。

Freedom is the oxygen of creativity; without it, art suffocates.

Your smarts will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvels. We humans -- plodding as we are -- will astonish ourselves. We'll invent ways to generate clean energy and a lot of it. Atom by atom， we'll assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs. This month comes the extraordinary but also inevitable news that we've synthesized life. In the coming years， we'll not only synthesize it， but we'll engineer it to specifications. I believe you'll even see us understand the human brain. Jules Verne， Mark Twain， Galileo， Newton -- all the curious from the ages would have wanted to be alive most of all right now. As a civilization， we will have so many gifts， just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.
