你不會記得, 你忘記了什麼.

你不會知道, 你不知道什麼.

如果完全忘記了一樣事物, 你不會記得, 你忘記了它.

如果不知道一樣事物的存在, 你不會知道, 你不知道它的存在.

愚蠢的人以為自己的主觀世界, 就是客觀世界. 所以, 他們不知道自己的愚蠢.

聰明的人知道自己的主觀世界, 只是客觀世界的一小部分. 所以, 他們可以真切感受到自己的愚蠢.

Mathematicians won the war.

Mathematicians broke the Japanese codes and built the A-bomb.

Mathematicians… like you.

In medicine or economics,

in technology or in space,

battle lines are being drawn.

To triumph we need results — publishable, applicable results.

Now, who among you will be the next Morse,

the next Einstein?

Who among you will be the vanguard of democracy, freedom and discovery?

Today we bequeath America’s future into your able hands.

Welcome to Princeton, gentlemen.

Memory

Posted on by

I have collected in this book memories extending over fifty years.

I am well aware that memory is unreliable.

It not only selects and rearranges that facts of our lives, but also embroiders and invents.

I have checked my version of facts wherever possible against other people’s memories and against written documents.
