Quote by Donald Knuth

"The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil."

"Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do."

"Programming is the art of telling another human what one wants the computer to do."

"The most important principle for the good algorithm designer is to refuse to be content."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
