你无法满足所有人的要求。

极不切实际的梦想即使没有实际权力做后盾，一样可以让人产生最大无畏的胆气。这是因为，怀有大希望者的力量可以有最荒谬的来源：一个口号、一句话或一枚徽章。

The novel is the art of making the invisible visible.

责任感的文化推动绩效。

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people， and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park， listened carefully to me， and finally said， "That sounds like a really good idea， but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me， and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light， it really was a difficult choice， but ultimately， I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration， I took the less safe path to follow my passion， and I'm proud of that choice.
