Andy Weir
“I guess you could call it a "failure", but I prefer the term "learning experience".”
Andy Weir, The Martian

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Даже машина, становясь совершеннее, делает свое дело все скромней и незаметней. Кажется, будто все труды человека – создателя машин, все его расчеты, все бессонные ночи над чертежами только и проявляются во внешней простоте; словно нужен был опыт многих поколений, чтобы все стройней и чеканней становились колонна, киль корабля или фюзеляж самолета, пока не обрели наконец первозданную чистоту и плавность линий груди или плеча. Кажется, будто работа инженеров, чертежников, конструкторов к тому и сводится, чтобы шлифовать и сглаживать, чтобы облегчить и упростить механизм крепления, уравновесить крыло, сделать его незаметным – уже не крыло, прикрепленное к фюзеляжу, но некое совершенство форм, естественно развившееся из почки, таинственно слитное и гармоническое единство, которое сродни прекрасному стихотворению. Как видно, совершенство достигается не тогда, когда уже нечего прибавить, но когда уже ничего нельзя отнять.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Планета людей

Italo Calvino

Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

Andy Weir
“He’s stuck out there. He thinks he’s totally alone and that we all gave up on him. What kind of effect does that have on a man’s psychology?” He turned back to Venkat. “I wonder what he’s thinking right now.”

LOG ENTRY: SOL 61 How come Aquaman can control whales? They’re mammals! Makes no sense.”
Andy Weir, The Martian

“They say no plan survives first contact with implementation. I’d have to agree.”
