写作是为了见证世界的美丽与残酷。
To write is to bear witness to the world's beauty and cruelty.
"世界是一个影子，而影子是一面镜子。"
2007年：贝索斯致股东信《我们改变工具，工具也改变我们》
译文：年轻人不要去嘲笑老人，你看花儿能红透到什么时候。赏析：每个人都会经历人生的起起落落，每个人都会衰老死去，不要因为自己一时的得势就去嘲笑别人，不能因为自己获得一时的成功就骄傲自大。
The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath, to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.
在任何情况下都要寻找积极的一面。总有一些值得感激的事情。
