我对控制与混乱之间的张力感兴趣。
孔子说:“譬如堆山,还差一筐,没堆成就停了,功亏一篑是自己造成的;譬如填坑,只倒一筐,继续填下去,坚持不懈是自己决定的。”
The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.
Success comes from focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you can't.
We can say things with words; and we can do things with words.
