人们很难接受与已有知识和经验相左的信息或观念，因为一个人已有的知识和观念都是经过反复筛选的。尽管很多知识和观念是被灌输的，但知识的持有者对“被灌输”这一事实往往毫无察觉，就算察觉，也可能拒绝承认。人们更愿意相信自己拥有一定的判断能力，不会被轻易糊弄。

I think love is a touch and yet not a touch 。

「不受教育的人，因为不识字，上人的当；受教育的人，因为识了字，上印刷品的当。」（《围城》）
钱钟书当然是过来人。就如同有的历史是真的，有的历史是硬塞给你，要你相信它是真的。
而历史的真相，往往得透过福尔摩斯之眼，也即是福尔摩斯所谓的「链条理论」：从一滴水里，一个逻辑家可以推论出一片大西洋或一条尼加拉河。既使他从未看过或听说过这两个地方。

When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you're life is just to live your life inside the world.
Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
That's a very limited life.
Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.

Dear Red,
If you’re reading this, you’ve got out. And if you’ve come this far, maybe you’re willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town, don’t you? I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheel. I’ll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, Red.
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of all things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you and finds you well.
Your friend,
Andy
