The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

It is enough if one tries to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. --Albert Einstein
Programming is, among other things, a kind of writing. One way to learn writing is to write, but in all other forms of writing, one also reads. We read examples--both good and bad--to facilitate learning. --Gerald M. Weinberg
Human knowledge is by necessity incomplete. We cannot know in advance what we might be able to know and what might be essentially unknowable. But of one thing we can be sure: if we do not try to find things out, we shall never succeed. --Gerald M. Weinberg
