“Bierność (...). Gubi nas ona nie tylko jako naród, ale i jako jednostki. Jej to przede wszystkim zawdzięczamy, że wśród nas tak częstym jest zjawiskiem pesymizm, beznadziejność, brak wiary w siebie i w możność życia na lepszy sposób. Trzeba świat znać i rozumieć, a życie samemu urabiać według własnych wymagań. Świat wtedy nie będzie taki brzydki, a życie na nim tak złe, jak to nam się często zdaje. Jest ono tylko twarde dla zniewieściałych próżniaków i bezlitosne dla nie rozumiejących ducha czasu.”
― Roman Dmowski, Myśli Nowoczesnego Polaka

“It was all very well going on about pure logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the Disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists' houses and smashing their windows.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic

“Myron reached for the phone and dialed Win's number. After the eighth ring he began to hang up when a weak, distant voice coughed. "Hello?"
Win?"
Yeah."
You okay?"
Hello?"
Win?"
Yeah."
What took you so long to answer the phone?"
Hello?"
Win?"
Who is this?"
Myron."
Myron Bolitar?"
How many other Myrons do you know?"
Myron Bolitar?"
No, Myron Rockefeller."
Something's wrong," Win said.
What?"
Terribly wrong."
What are you talking about?"
Some asshole is calling me at seven in the morning pretending to be my best friend."
Sorry, I forgot the time.”
― Harlan Coben, Deal Breaker

“How do I test private methods?” Many people spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get around this problem, but, as I mentioned in an earlier chapter, the real answer is that if you have the urge to test a private method, the method shouldn’t be private; if making the method public bothers you, chances are, it is because it is part of a separate responsibility. It should be on another class.”
