over for a caraway seed and Tony Calio's heart.
                -- F. Allen

                -- Forbes Burkowski, Computer Science 454

You cannot achieve the impossible without attempting the absurd.

You cannot kill time without injuring eternity.

You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.

You can't carve your way to success without cutting remarks.
