  1. A quotation from L'Engle

    So let us look for beauty and grace, for love and friendship, for that which is creative and birth-giving and soul-stretching. Let us dare to laugh at ourselves, healthy, affirmative laughter. Only when we take ourselves lightly can we take ourselves seriously, so that we are given the courage to say, “Yes! I dare disturb the universe.”

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

  17. A quotation from Emerson

       A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.
       In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2

  24. A quotation from Cicero

    No one, whether poet or orator, ever yet thought anyone else better than himself. This is the case even with bad ones.

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Epistulae ad Atticum [Letters to Atticus], Book 14, Letter 20, sec. 3 (14.20.3) (44 BC) [tr. Shuckburgh (1900), # 724]

    The engineers that made me must have been crazy like foxes #SelfAppreciation

  26. While cleaning things up, I stumbled upon a copy my 2003 master’s thesis on portable checkpointing for C/C++ code and found that it wasn’t ridiculous at all:

  27. A quotation from Augustine of Hippo:

    «««««
    Men go forth to marvel at the heights of mountains and the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the rivers, the vastness of the ocean, the orbits of the stars, and yet they neglect to marvel at themselves.
    [Et eunt homines mirari alta montium et ingentes fluctus maris et latissimos lapsus fluminum et oceani ambitum …
    »»»»»
