“The editor will be an extension of your hand; the keys will sing as they slice their way through text and thought.”
Andrew Hunt, The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master

Paul    Graham
“It's important for nerds to realize, too, that school is not life. School is a strange, artificial thing, half sterile and half feral. It's all-encompassing, like life, but it isn't the real thing. It's only temporary, and if you look, you can see beyond it even while you're still in it.”
Paul Graham, Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age

Paul    Graham
“You need rich people in your society not so much because in spending their money they create jobs, but because of what they have to do to get rich. I'm not talking about the trickle-down effect here. I'm not saying that if you let Henry Ford get rich, he'll hire you as a waiter at his next party. I'm saying that he'll make you a tractor to replace your horse.”
Paul Graham, Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age

Richard P. Feynman
“Physics is to math what sex is to masturbation.”
Richard Feynman

Paul    Graham
“A startup is like a mosquito. A bear can absorb a hit and a crab is armored against one, but a mosquito is designed for one thing : to score. No energy is wasted on defense. The defense of mosquitos, as a species, is that there are a lot of them, but this is little consolation to the individual mosquito.”
Paul Graham, Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age
