"Writing code, he (Stuart Feldman) explains, is like writing poetry: every
word, each placement counts. Except that software is harder, because
digital poems can have millions of lines which are all somehow
interconnected. Try fixing programming errors, known as bugs, and you
often introduce new ones. So far, he laments, nobody has found a silver
bullet to kill the beast of complexity."
Survey: The Beast of Complexity; The Economist (London, UK); Apr 14, 2001.

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you
continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the
child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude
of the certain. -Leo Buscaglia, author, speaker and professor (1924-1998)
