Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
—Abelson & Sussman, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
You could get smarter programmers to work on a Python project than you could to work on a Java project.
—Paul Graham, The Python Paradox
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
—Brian W. Kernighan, co-author of The C Programming Language and the "K" in "AWK"
"A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing"
-- Alan Perlis, Epigrams on Programming
