最好的程序是这样编写的：计算机可以快速执行它们，而人类可以清楚地理解它们。理想情况下，程序员是一位散文家，他使用传统的美学和文学形式以及数学概念来传达算法的工作原理，并说服读者结果是正确的。
The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.
The best way to help people is not to do things for them, but to help them do things for themselves.
帮助他人的最好方式不是为他们做事，而是帮助他们为自己做事。
最重要的是对你想要做的事情有一个愿景，然后有毅力去实现它。
When we think of the past it's the beautiful things we pick out. We want to believe it was all like that.
To understand a culture, one must first understand its stories.
I'm not a product of my environment. My environment is a product of me.
