"Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over."

Impropriety is the soul of wit.

I will not be afraid.

The dead are more faithful than the living. They do not change.

You have to be willing to work harder than anyone else.

我不会让世界决定我的价值。
