Software is like sex — it's better when it's free! --- Linus Torvalds

The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming. --- Donald Knuth

Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp. --- Greenspun's tenth rule

Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler. --- often attributed to Albert Einstein

An idiot admires complexity; the genius admires simplicity. --- [Terry Davis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qmkQGqpM8)

Give someone state and they'll have a bug one day, but teach them how to represent state in two separate locations that have to be kept in sync and they'll have bugs for a lifetime. --- [Fabien Giesen](https://twitter.com/rygorous/status/1507178315886444544)

## Mathematics
```quotes1
A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems. --- Alfréd Rényi (1921-1970)

Mathematics is the art of giving the same names to different things. --- Henre Poincaré

To a mind of sufficient intellectual power, the whole of mathematics would appear trivial, as trivial as the statement that a four-footed animal is an animal. --- Bertrand Russell

The pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty. --- Bertrand Russell

Pure Mathematics is the class of all propositions of the form 'p implies q'. --- Bertrand Russell

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. --- Douglas Adams, from Mostly Harmless

## Monarchy
```quotes1
The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed. --- Terry Pratchett, Mort
