The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their
way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other,
whom he assumes to have perfect vision.  Each tends to ascribe to the other
side a consistency, forsight and coherence that its own experience belies.
Of course, even two blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to
speak of the room.
                -- Henry Kissinger

The Supreme Court does it with all deliberate speed.

The surest sign that a man is in love is when he divorces his wife.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher
esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
                -- Nietzsche

The surest way to remain a winner is to
win once, and then not play any more.

The sweeter the apple, the blacker the core --
Scratch a lover and find a foe!
                -- Dorothy Parker, "Ballad of a Great Weariness"

The system was down for backups from 5am to 10am last Saturday.

The system will be down for 10 days for preventative maintenance.

The Tao doesn't take sides;
it gives birth to both wins and losses.
The Guru doesn't take sides;
she welcomes both hackers and lusers.

The Tao is like a stack:
the data changes but not the structure.
the more you use it, the deeper it becomes;
the more you talk of it, the less you understand.

Hold on to the root.

The Tao is like a glob pattern:
used but never used up.
It is like the extern void:
filled with infinite possibilities.

It is masked but always present.
I don't know who built to it.
It came before the first kernel.
