The true value of a forest cannot be measured in board feet alone.

The database is the most important piece of software in the enterprise, and the most important piece of software in the enterprise is the database. The database is the foundation of all applications. The database is the heart of the application, and the application is the heart of the business. The key to performance is to keep the hot data in memory. The future of databases is in the cloud. Data is the new oil. It's valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. It has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etc to create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so must data be broken down, analyzed for it to have value. The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language. The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

迈克尔·斯通布雷克

你无法回到家乡，回到你的家庭，回到你的童年，回到浪漫的爱情，回到年轻人对荣耀和名声的梦想，回到流亡，逃到欧洲和某个外国，回到抒情，为了唱歌而唱歌，回到唯美主义，回到你年轻时对“艺术”和美的想法，回到象牙塔，回到乡村的地方，回到百慕大的小屋，远离世界上所有的冲突和斗争，回到你失去并一直在寻找的父亲，回到可以帮助你、拯救你、减轻你负担的人，回到那些曾经看似永恒但一直在变化的旧形式和系统——回到时间和记忆的逃避。

You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing's sake, back home to aestheticism, to one's youthful idea of 'art' and beauty, back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermuda, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time—back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.

托马斯·沃尔夫

爱是自然第二个太阳。

外韧之味，久则可厌；读书之味，愈久愈深。

有时，对我而言，二十世纪最伟大的许多诗作，包括男诗人与女诗人所写下的，似乎是有史以来最友爱的作品。如果真是如此，这也和政治口号毫无关联。这适用于里尔克(Rilke)，他是反政治的；也适用于波赫士(Borges)，他是个反动派；还有希克美这位终身共产党员。我们的世纪，是个史无前例的大屠杀时代，然而它所想像的(有时也为之奋斗的)未来，却是以友爱为号召。在此之前，几乎没人提出过这样的号召。

我非常喜欢冒险，世界上有许多门都是开着的，我不怕看到门背后的东西。

伊丽莎白·泰勒

In the garden of poetry, every flower is a word, and every word is a flower.

在诗歌的花园里，每一朵花都是一个词，每一个词都是一朵花。
