Share some quote along with the source. Today I found this one:

Quote

In everything... uniformity is undesirable.
Leaving something incomplete makes it interesting,
and gives one the feeling that there is room for growth...
Even when building the imprerial palace, they always
leave one place unfinished.

Japanese Essays in Idleness, 14^th Century

Quite inspiring. Now it makes sense why people tend to register more to beta games than to completed titles.

I have always like this one, from the novel Dune by Frank Herbert:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past
I will turn the Inner Eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
--The Litany Against Fear

It's nice because although it comes from the novel, I think it is a great method for removing all fear and worries that you have.

Death takes its toll

There is worse than killing. Letting live.

Quantity has its own quality

Only 1000 must die to save 10,000

History is written by the winners of the war

Better disturb a lion in its lair, than a great mind in his library. For him, army of the millions is not more or less than a figure on the chessboard. Disposable, without any doubts.

Every time people pray, a GOD is born.

hmm.. Not sure who said them , I know the one Stalin said, lol. And another one is from Diablo.
But, what matters to me is not who say something, rather than what is it, and where/when.
The most interesting is always the here/when.

The thread on OOP reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from Alan Kay.

Actually I made up the term "object-oriented", and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind.

"There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line."
Oscar Levant
"It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it." "Women are made to be loved not understood."-Oscar Wilde'

"Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast."
— Oscar Wilde

"Geniuses don't become geniuses until they find the right moron to compare themselves to."
— James McGregor

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
— Albert Einstein

"You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother."
— Albert Einstein

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
— James D. Nicoll

Those are my favorite ones. I tend to believe in them all as i use them when i'm talking to my friends. My favorite one that comes up alot in tech talks is the one about explaining things.
