“Of course bad code can be cleaned up. But it’s very expensive.”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

“Remember that code is really the language in which we ultimately express the requirements. We may create languages that are closer to the requirements. We may create tools that help us parse and assemble those requirements into formal structures. But we will never eliminate necessary precision—so there will always be code.”
― Robert C. Martin

“Clean code always looks like it was written by someone who cares.”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

“The only way to go fast, is to go well.”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Architecture

“It is not the language that makes programs appear simple. It is the programmer that make the language appear simple!”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

“When you are working on a problem, you sometimes get so close to it that you can’t see all the options. You miss elegant solutions because the creative part of your mind is suppressed by the intensity of your focus. Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to go home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed, and then wake up the next morning and take a shower.”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Coder, The: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers

“There are two parts to learning craftsmanship: knowledge and work. You must gain the knowledge of principles, patterns, practices, and heuristics that a craftsman knows, and you must also grind that knowledge into your fingers, eyes, and gut by working hard and
practicing.”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship
