Paul    Graham
“The main reason nerds are unpopular is that they have other things to think about.”
Paul Graham, Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age

Paul    Graham
“We need a language that lets us scribble and smudge and smear, not a language where you have to sit with a teacup of types balanced on your knee and make polite conversation with a strict old aunt of a compiler.”
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
“Paying attention is more important to reliability than moving slowly. Because he pays close attention, a Navy pilot can land a 40,000 lb. aircraft at 140 miles per hour on a pitching carrier deck, at night, more safely than the average teenager can cut a bagel.”
Paul Graham, Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age

Paul    Graham
“Let's start with a test: Do you have any opinions that you would be reluctant to express in front of a group of your peers?

If the answer is no, you might want to stop and think about that. If everything you believe is something you're supposed to believe, could that possibly be a coincidence? Odds are it isn't. Odds are you just think whatever you're told.”
Paul Graham, Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age
