我相信讲故事的力量可以改变观点和打开心扉。

我不相信幸福的结局。生活不是那样的。

杰夫·贝索斯接受了莱克斯·弗里德曼的播客采访

The best leaders are the ones who listen more than they speak.

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness— Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!

成功不是幸福的关键。幸福是成功的关键。如果你热爱你所做的事，你就会成功。

——在广州全国青年联合会演说，1923年10月21日

Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we've learned as we've moved toward that dream. That's the point at which most people give up. It's the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.'

In science, the most important quality is intellectual honesty.

活着就是冒险一切。否则，你只是一块随机组合的惰性分子，随宇宙之风飘荡。
