- Computers are like musical instruments, built to perform.
- The code of computer programmers is 'software'.
- Easy or hard, all programming problems are solved with languages, data structures, and algorithms. Plus, a lot of hard, focused concentration.

You know, I just want it to be elegant in a way that hangs together so somebody can read it and simle. -- Donald Knuth
