“There is a door we all want to walk through, and writing can help you find it and open it. Writing can give you what having a baby can give you: it can get you to start paying attention, can help you soften, can wake you up. But publishing won’t do any of those things; you’ll never get in that way.”

“The cleaner and nicer the program, the faster it’s going to run. And if it doesn’t, it’ll be easy to make it fast.” — Joshua Bloch
