There was, it appeared, a mysterious rite of initiation through which, in
one way or another, almost every member of the team passed.  The term that
the old hands used for this rite -- West invented the term, not the practice --
was `signing up.'  By signing up for the project you agreed to do whatever
was necessary for success.  You agreed to forsake, if necessary, family,
hobbies, and friends -- if you had any of these left (and you might not, if
you had signed up too many times before).
-- Tracy Kidder, _The Soul of a New Machine_

"Love your country but never trust its government."
-- from a hand-painted road sign in central Pennsylvania

To update Voltaire, "I may kill all msgs from you, but I'll fight for

"Though a program be but three lines long,
someday it will have to be maintained."
-- The Tao of Programming

"Turn on, tune up, rock out."
-- Billy Gibbons
