把这一句，留给此刻的你
People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.
人们认为计算机科学是天才的艺术，但实际情况恰恰相反，许多人做的事情是建立在彼此的基础上的，就像一堵由小石头砌成的墙。
— Donald Knuth 高德纳

John Romero
约翰·罗梅洛
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
崇高的智慧、想象力或两者都不能造就天才。爱，爱，爱，那是天才的灵魂。
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
莫扎特
If there ever was a misnomer, it is ‘exact science’. Science has always been full of mistakes; they require a genius to correct them. Of course, we do not see our own mistakes.
如果说有什么用词不当的话，那就是“精确科学”。科学总是充满错误;它们需要天才来纠正。当然，我们看不到自己的错误。
Edward Teller
爱德华·泰勒
Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.
我们对自然的观察必须勤奋，我们的反思必须深刻，我们的实验必须精确。我们很少看到这三种方法结合在一起;因此，有创造力的天才并不常见。
Denis Diderot
狄德罗
If there be anything that can be called genius, it consists chiefly in ability to give that attention to a subject which keeps it steadily in the mind, till we have surveyed it accurately on all sides.
如果有什么东西可以被称为天才的话，那就是把注意力集中在一件事上的能力。这件事能使我们把它牢牢地记在心里，直到我们从各个方面对它进行了准确的考察。
