不可否认,这个时代确有其独特的优势。无聊似乎已被彻底消灭,我们永远有做不完的事——但这是否也意味着,我们的生活已沦为一场永不停歇的分心之旅?
在数学的世界里,每个问题都会引出另一个问题,创造出一个连接所有科学领域的无尽知识网络。
We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way.
The photograph is the most perfect picture.
每一个数学问题都是一个等待解决的谜题,每一个解决方案都是迈向更深入理解的一步。
