My blindness has never been a limitation; it has taught me to see the world in a different way.

The greatest wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.

Functions delay binding; data structures induce binding. Moral: Structure data late in the programming process.

译文：遇到危险时就应该学会避让，自己没有才能就不要去献诗。赏析：明知力量悬殊，危险重重，置自己的性命于不顾，是对自己不负责的表现。如果不能确保自身的安全，任何事都不要去做。凡事都要做好充足的准备，提高自己的价值，才会立于不败之地。

——2002年6月温铁军在清华大学的一次讲座

"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places."

What you do on your bad days matters more than what you do on your good days.
