Thomas Merton
“Prayer does not blind us to the world, but it transforms our vision of the world, and makes us see it, all men, and all the history of mankind, in the light of God. To pray 'in spirit and in truth' enables us to enter into contact with that infinite love, that inscrutable freedom which is at work behind the complexities and the intricacies of human existence. This does not mean fabricating for ourselves pious rationalizations to explain everything that happens. It involves no surreptitious manipulation of the hard truths of life.”
Thomas Merton, Contemplative Prayer

Robert C. Martin
“Truth can only be found in one place: the code.”
Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

Terry Pratchett
“THERE IS NO JUSTICE" said Death "JUST ME”
Terry Pratchett

George Washington
“We must consult our means rather than our wishes.”
George Washington

Karl Popper
“Theories are nets cast to catch what we call 'the world': to rationalize, to explain, and to master it. We endeavor to make the mesh ever finer and finer.”
Karl Popper
