作家被委派去宣告和庆祝人类已被证明的伟大心灵和精神——在失败中的英勇，勇气，同情和爱。在对抗软弱和绝望的无尽战争中，这些是希望和效仿的明亮旗帜。
The writer is delegated to declare and to celebrate man's proven capacity for greatness of heart and spirit—for gallantry in defeat, for courage, compassion and love. In the endless war against weakness and despair, these are the bright rally flags of hope and of emulation.
The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live a thousand lives.
Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity, not a threat.
For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace.
