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.

在痛苦和虚无之间选择，我会选择痛苦。

真正的困难不在于构思新想法，而在于摆脱旧观念。

没有什么是确定的，也没有什么是不可能的。

The only way to endure life is to escape into art.
