You're familiar with the phrase "Man's reach exceeds his grasp"? It's a lie. Man's grasp exceeds his nerve. The only limits on scientific progress are those imposed by society. The first time I changed the world, I was hailed as a visionary. The second time I was asked politely to retire. The world only tolerates one change at a time. And so here I am. Enjoying my "retirement". Nothing is impossible, Mr. Angier, what you want is simply expensive.
你聽過這句俗話嗎？ “心有余而力不足”。那不是真話。人類只是膽量不夠。社會一次只能接受一種改變。我第一次試著改變世界，被稱為先知；第二次他們卻請我退休。所以我在這里享受退休時光。沒有不可能的事，只是很貴不貴的問題。
