If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in. -- Edsger W. Dijkstra

Simple things should be simple. Complex things should be possible. -- Alan Kay

Workers of the world, the chains that bind you are not held in place by a ruling class, a "superior" race, by society, the state, or a leader. They are held in place by none other than yourself. Those who seek to exploit are not themselves free, for they place no value in freedom. Who is it that really employs you and commands you to pick up your daily load? And who is it that you allow to pass judgment on the adequacy of your toil? Who have you empowered to dangle the carrot before you and threaten with disapproval? Who, when you wake each morning, sends you off to what you call your work? Is there an "I want to" behind all your "I have to," or have you been so long forgotten to yourself that "I want" exists only as an idea in your head? If you have disconnected from your soul's desire and are drowning in an ocean of "have to," then rise up and overthrow your master. Begin the journey toward emancipation. Work only in such a way that you are truly self-employed. -- Tim Gallwey, The inner game of work

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. -- Friedrich Nietzsche

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. -- John Lennon

There is one meaning [for static in C]: a global variable that is invisible outside the current scope, be it a function or a file. -- Paolo Bonzini

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~Herman Melville

I didn’t fail the test. I just found 100 ways to do it wrong. –Benjamin Franklin

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. ~Dale Carnegie

Believe you can and you’re halfway there. –Theodore Roosevelt
