 # Quotes that I enjoy

+- "Always run the short road, and the short road is the one that's in accordance with nature. Say and do everything, then, in the most sound way possible. With that kind of purpose, one is freed from fatigue, hesitation, ulterior motives, and affectation." - Marcus Aurelius in his [_Meditations_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditations), Notebook 4.51, translated by [Robin Waterfield](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Waterfield)

 - "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it\[... yet\]." - paraphrase from [Brian Kernighan ("Kernighan's Law")](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Kernighan), with an extension by [Linus Akesson ("Kernighan's lever")](https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/kernighans-lever/index.php)
 - "Design is the art of arranging code to work today, and be changeable forever." - [Sandi Metz](https://sandimetz.com/blog/2012/07/05/how-shall-we-define-design), found from [this gist](https://gist.github.com/tooolbox/7e5f8afc32589007b5f41e1921b7ffb3)
