A neurotic can perfectly well be a literary genius, but his greatest danger is always that he will not recognize when he is dull.
一个神经质的人完全可以成为一个文学天才,但他最大的危险总是当他迟钝的时候他不会意识到。

Everyone in a complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretations we gather, the easier it becomes to gain a sense of the whole.
在一个复杂的系统中,每个人的解释都略有不同。我们收集的解释越多,就越容易获得整体的感觉。
Margaret J. Wheatley

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
创造力就是把事物联系起来。当你问有创造力的人他们是如何做某件事的,他们会感到有点内疚,因为他们并没有真正做这件事,他们只是看到了一些东西。过了一会儿,他们觉得很明显。这是因为他们能够把自己的经历联系起来,并综合新的事物。

It's hard to argue against cynics -- they always sound smarter than optimists because they have so much evidence on their side.
很难反驳愤世嫉俗者——他们总是比乐观主义者听起来更聪明,因为他们有那么多的证据支持自己。

Human beings are creators, flinging powerful images into the minds of their fellow men. And all of these images are built of tiny particles of thought.
人类是创造者,把强有力的形象抛入同胞的脑海。所有这些图像都是由微小的思想粒子构成的。
