金钱被高估了。真正新鲜的事物很少会需要很多钱。不然的话，百万富翁们应该早就垄断了对新事物的发明了，但他们并没有。相反，几乎所有的突破都来自那些缺钱的人，因为他们被迫不得不依靠自己的热情、坚持与才智，去找到新的方法。贫穷是创新上的优势。
Money is overrated. Truly new things rarely need an abundance of money. If that was so， billionaires would have a monopoly on inventing new things， and they don’t. Instead almost all breakthroughs are made by those who lack money， because they are forced to rely on their passion， persistence and ingenuity to figure out new ways. Being poor is an advantage in innovation.
The beauty of mathematics is that it allows us to see patterns and structures in the world that are not immediately obvious.
"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."
I'm not afraid of aging. I think it's a privilege to grow old.
