身虽处天地万物之后，心却不在天地万物之前；身虽处天地万物之中，而心却在天地万物之上。

History lives in us, whether we learn it or not.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

"Realism is not about copying nature, but understanding its essence."

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
