你必须保持偏执才能生存。

I like crossing the imaginary boundaries people like to draw between scientific fields.

I don't have any particular recipe [for developing new proofs] ... It is the reason why doing research is challenging as well as attractive. It's like being lost in a jungle and trying to use all the knowledge that you can gather to come up with some new tricks, and with some luck you might find a way out.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

The only way to survive is to keep moving forward.

缓慢的程度与记忆的强度成正比。速度的程度与遗忘的强度成正比。

写作是理解我们挣扎的一种方式。

语言是心灵的声音，而沉默是它的回响。
