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.
消灭一个民族的第一步是抹去它的记忆。摧毁它的书籍、文化、历史。然后让某人写新书，制造新文化，发明新历史。不久之后，这个国家就会开始忘记它是什么以及它曾经是什么。它周围的世界会忘记得更快。
Leadership is about making tough decisions today that will be thanked for tomorrow.

真相往往隐藏在最普通的地方。
自我只是它在成为过程中的东西。
