That Einstein quote is a great one. A few other in my list that are (more or less) relevant to hackers: There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. - C. A. R. Hoare Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all. - Douglas Adams "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop." - Lewis Carroll If you're going through hell, keep going. - Winston Churchill
