Since this is turning into a quote thread, I'll throw another one in:

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery



Well, if we're really doing this...

"It's not the daily increase but the daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential." - Bruce Lee

Obviously not hack as in hack, but when it came to fighting he was a better hacker than any of us.


"The scholar seeketh daily increase of knowing; the sage of Tao daily decrease of doing. He decreaseth it, again and again, until he doth no act with the lust of result. Having attained this Inertia all accomplisheth itself. He who attracteth to himself all that is under Heaven doth so without effort. He who maketh effort is not able to attract it." - Tao Teh King, Chapter XLVIII (Crowley's translation)
