Very nice quotations. This is my favorite:

"If you think good architecture is expensive, try bad architecture."

As I'm working for years now as head of our Professional Services Team, which mainly provides software consulting, I can't stress enough how true this is.

Thanks for sharing this

--- Frederick P. Brooks

"...Programming is a desperate losing battle against the unconquerable complexity of code, and the treachery of requirements..."

--- Jonathan Edwards
