The best science fiction is not about the future; it's about the present.

I'm a free bitch, baby.

为一个不断演变且令人无法抗拒的戏剧形象贴上明确的道德标签，在我看来是肤浅、无礼且不诚实的。

A brand is only as strong as the people behind it.

世俗的人以自身性命为性命，而君子以万物的性命为自身性命。

你不是管理人；你是管理事物。你领导人们。

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast， and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old， and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't， and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy， I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires， a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil， baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor， and she wanted me to follow my passion.
