quotes

from early childhood, i was always a fan of quotes from personalities and other people around me. maybe it was because i didn't have the patience to read beyond a couple of lines, or maybe because the inspirational quotes pump you with a kind of adrenaline, or mabye even because you can use them (of course, pretentiously, in conversations). there's a whole branch of wiki dedicated to good qutoes here.

anyhoo, a couple of my favorite quotes are:

you are not what you show, but what you hide

the more you practise, the luckier you get

some lighter ones -

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
