科学不是对客观信息的无情追求。它是一种创造性的人类活动,它的天才更多地扮演艺术家的角色,而不是信息处理者。
Stephen Jay Gould
斯蒂芬·杰·古尔德
Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn't help us know what to say.
技术给了我们力量,但它没有也不能告诉我们如何使用这种力量。多亏了科技,我们可以在世界各地即时交流,但它仍然不能帮助我们知道该说什么。
Jonathan Sacks
乔纳森·萨克斯
Better beware of notions like genius and inspiration; they are a sort of magic wand and should be used sparingly by anybody who wants to see things clearly.
最好提防天才和灵感之类的概念;它们是一种魔杖,任何想看清楚东西的人都应该谨慎使用。
Jose Ortega y Gasset

Wouldn't it be great if the technology we used to take care of ourselves was as good as the technology we use to make money?
如果我们用来照顾自己的技术和我们用来赚钱的技术一样好,那不是很棒吗?
James Heywood
詹姆斯·海伍德
The man of genius is he and he alone who finds such joy in his art that he will work at it come hell or high water.
天才就是在自己的艺术中找到快乐的人,而且只有他一个人,无论遇到什么困难,他都愿意为之努力。
Stendhal
司汤达
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。
