真正的智慧，在于懂得放下执念，顺其自然。人生如四季，枯荣皆是风景，何必执着于常青？别人的评价是风，你的内心是山，风再大也吹不动山。 - 每日文摘

我通过我的灵魂与肉体得知，堕落乃为必需。我必然经历贪欲，我必然去追逐财富，体验恶心，陷于绝望的深渊。学会热爱这个世界，不再以某种欲愿与臆想出来的世界、某种虚伪的完善的幻想来与之比拟。学会接受这个世界的本来面目，热爱它，以归属于它而心存欣喜。

赫尔曼·黑塞

一般来说，被不能爱的人所爱之类的话，都是假的啊，对不对？女人喜欢编造这种谎言。

谁是幸福的人？只有感到他人的功勋己之乐的人。

写作就像在雾中夜间驾驶。你只能看到车灯所及之处，但你可以这样完成整个旅程。

Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

迈克尔·查邦

The fight against illegal fishing is a fight for justice.

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast， and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old， and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't， and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy， I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires， a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil， baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor， and she wanted me to follow my passion.

追随自己内心的热情 16年前，我萌生了创办亚马逊的想法。彼时我面对的现实是互联网使用量以每年2300%的速度增长，我从未看到或听说过任何增长如此快速的东西。创建涵盖几百万种书籍的网上书店的想法令我兴奋异常，因为这个东西在物理世界里根本无法存在。那时我刚刚30岁，结婚才一年。我告诉妻子MacKenzie想辞去工作，然后去做这件疯狂的事情，很可能会失败，因为大部分创业公司都是如此，而且我不确定那之后会发生什么。MacKenzie告诉我，我应该放手一搏。在我还是一个男孩儿的时候，我是车库发明家。我曾用水泥填充的轮胎、雨伞和锡箔以及报警器制作了一个自动关门器。我一直想做一个发明家，MacKenzie支持我追随内心的热情。
