第一最好不相见，如此便可不相恋。 第二最好不相知，如此便可不相思。 第三最好不相伴，如此便可不相欠。 第四最好不相惜，如此便可不相忆。 第五最好不相爱，如此便可不相弃。 第六最好不相对，如此便可不相会。 第七最好不相误，如此便可不相负。 第八最好不相许，如此便可不相续。 第九最好不相依，如此便可不相偎。 第十最好不相遇，如此便可不相聚。 但曾相见便相知，相见何如不见时。 安得与君相诀绝，免教生死作相思。

A beautiful love poem from Tibet
Some Quotes from Albert Einstein
I suddenly got into a quote of Eistein--then I went to check it out...the next thing I know, I am obsessed. You gotta love this man--full of wisdom.
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
If you are out to describe the truth, leave the elegance to the tailor.
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Information is not knowledge.
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today's events.
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.
I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough

Book, PAPER!
Williams got it pretty wrong.
Books, we need them in paper, not in some electronic versions. We need to check out a book, sit down in a quite place with nothing else in mind, and take in the information and try to understand them exhaustively. They are not like novels, which one can easily scan through in a computer screen. Those librarians do not understand us.
Electronic version is for those who never seek to understand the material, but just want to know the arguments so as to replicate the arguments to show off their knowledge and (artificial) intelligence in the next conversation (it should remind you of the asshole in the bar in The Good Will Hunting).
Why the hell do we spend so much money on building a new library, when we our library is full of old and outdated books? Why not just spend money to get these new books?
