'Shibumi' by Trevanian, p.105Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft while in fact he has had only one year of experience - twenty times.

If you just do something, it won't be elegant, but if you do it and then see what might be more elegant, and do it again, you might, after an unknown number of iterations, get something that is very elegant.
'Shibumi' by Trevanian, p.73It appears that, for the Westerners, the great moral crisis of war obscures minor ethical considerations.

Erik Naggumhttp://groups.google.no/group/comp.emacs/msg/821a0f04bab91864The clumsiness of people who have to engage their brain at every step is unbearably painful to watch, at least to me, and that's what the novice-friendly software makes people do, because there's no elegance in them, it's just a mass of features to be learned by rote. However, this suits people a hell of a lot better than setting out at age 6 to become a great ballet dancer and achieving their goal 20 years later after every tendon and muscle and joint has been asked to perform just a little bit more than nature ever intended over and over and over again. To most people, this is insanity. But in reality, it's art, and it's the art in what we do that makes us human.
