烟尘滚滚，一路行来，我很可能是迷了路了。不然，自己怎么会，在举手投足里，越来越不像起自己来了。

The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates.

想象力模仿，批判精神创造。

The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.

他说，关于世界的真相是，任何事情都是可能的。如果你不是从出生就看到了这一切，从而失去了它的陌生感，它对你来说就会显得像是一个魔术表演中的帽子戏法，一个发烧的梦，一个充满了既没有类比也没有先例的幻象的恍惚，一个巡回的嘉年华，一个在许多泥泞的田野中多次投掷后最终目的地无法言说且灾难性超出想象的迁徙帐篷表演。

有一个深度的爱好，无论把这份爱用在写字、画画上，还是烹饪、种植、运动或其他，顺境时，这是锦上添花的乐趣；逆境中，它是雪中送炭的慰藉。

事实上，自然科学长期以来只是大脑和想象力的产物：现在是时候回归到对物质和显而易见事物的朴素而健全的观察上了。

罗伯特·胡克

In mathematics, the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it.

在数学中，提出问题的艺术必须比解决问题更有价值。
