追求高效算法的核心是一项数学努力，它挑战了我们对复杂性和可计算性的理解。

成功不在于你赚了多少钱，而在于你为别人的生活带来了什么改变。

最好的程序是这样写的：计算机可以快速执行它们，人类可以清楚地理解它们。理想情况下，程序员是一位散文家，他使用传统的美学和文学形式以及数学概念来传达算法的工作原理，并说服读者结果是正确的。

欲望是缺乏了解的产物。

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
