Innovation is the only way to break through the bottleneck.
在计算机科学中,我们总是在寻找表达能力和可处理性之间的平衡。
我已经有了自己的宗教信仰:在我看来,没有任何东西比书更为重要。我把书房看作教堂。作为教士的子孙,我生活在世界屋脊之上,所谓世界屋脊,就是七层楼上吧。我栖在主干——树干——的最高处,即电梯井的顶部。我在阳台上走来走去,向行人投以居高临下的目光,越过栅栏门,向跟我同岁的女邻居吕塞特•莫罗致意;然后回到Cella,或者说圣殿。我金发鬈鬈,长得像个小姑娘,从不亲自下楼,每当——也就是说每天——我由母亲领着去卢森堡公园,只是把我不值钱的外表借给低处罢了,而我享天福的圣身并没有离开高处。我想现在它还在高处,凡是人都有他的自然地位,这个自然地位的高度不是自尊和才华所能确定的,而是儿童时代确立的。我的自然地位就是巴黎七层楼,能看见千家万户的屋顶。曾有很长一段时间,山谷使我感到窒息,平原使我气闷,好像在火星上步履艰难地爬行,犹如肩负重荷,被压得透不过气来。但只要爬上乡间低矮的小屋顶上,我便乐不可支,好似回到我的七层高楼上,我在那里再一次呼吸到纯文学稀薄的空气,天地万物层层铺展在我的脚下。万物个个谦恭地恳求有名字。给每个事物命名,意味着既创造这个事物,又占有这个事物。这是我最大的幻觉。但要是没有这个幻觉,我大概绝不会学作了。
When truth is buried, it grows. It chokes. It gathers such an explosive force that on the day it bursts out, it blows up everything with it. 
写作是一种思考的方式,一种理解世界的方式。
Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
Today is cruel, tomorrow is crueler, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night and won't see the sun of the day after tomorrow.
