The best proof of love is trust.
Joyce Brothers

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
Robin Williams

Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.
Hunter S. Thompson

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Agnes Repplier

If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favourable to him.
Seneca

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
Karl Popper

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Carl Sagan

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
Upton Sinclair

Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose.
Daniel Pink

Once I thought that writing this book would be impossible. It was a skyscraper, massive and complete and unbearably far off. (…) Everything grand is made from a series of ugly little moments. Everything worthwhile by hours of self-doubt and days of drudgery. All the works by people you and I admire sit atop a foundation of failures. So whatever your project, whatever your struggle, whatever your dream, keep toiling, because the world needs your skyscraper.
Pierce Brown

When you're working mostly alone that gets frustrating really fast, and when you get frustrated you get impulsive, and those impulses lead to half measure solutions, and those half measure solutions accumulate into a whole network of bespoke inefficiencies that you just live with because the process of unravelling them feels just so... big.
Dan Olson

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
Douglas Adams

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
R. P. Feynman

Programming, when stripped of all its circumstantial irrelevancies, boils down to no more and no less than very effective thinking so as to avoid unmastered complexity, to very vigorous separation of your many different concerns.
Edsger W. Dijkstra

I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
Tony Hoare

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
Phil Karlton

Meine Sinne sind hier
Meine Füsse stehen fest
