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.
最好的程序是这样写的：计算机可以快速执行它们，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。
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
La vraie vie est absente. Nous ne sommes pas au monde.
Contemplating the weaknesses of others is easy； contemplating the weaknesses in yourself is hard， but it pays a much higher reward.
永远不要低估一个简单想法的力量。
