在探索现实的基本性质的追求中，我们必须准备好质疑我们认为我们所知道的一切。
In the quest for understanding the fundamental nature of reality, we must be prepared to question everything we think we know.
Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.
I believe in the passion of creation. Without passion, you have nothing.
