On love
"To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be."
— Heidi Priebe
On programming
"Clean code always looks like it was written by someone who cares. There is nothing obvious that you can do to make it better. All of those things were thought about by the code’s author, and if you try to imagine improvements, you’re led back to where you are, sitting in appreciation of the code someone left for you—code left by some- one who cares deeply about the craft."
— Michael Feathers
"You know you are working on clean code when each routine you read turns out to be pretty much what you expected. You can call it beautiful code when the code also makes it look like the language was made for the problem."
— Ward Cunningham
On achievement
"The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."
— Vince Lombardi
"You don’t get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the actions that produce results."
— Mike Hawkins
"The one common denominator to all success and happiness is other people."
— Les Giblin
"Sharp tools make good work."
— Ancient proverb
On authenticity
"Ironically, the less you try to impress others, the more impressive you become."
— Alex Hormozi
