Quote of the Day 2010-7-31

Problems worthy
of attack
Prove their worth
by hitting back.

-Piet Hein

Bonus trivia: Piet Hein became notorious as a member of the Danish resistance during Nazi occupation by writing this poem. It passed German censors. If you understand it, then you’ve grasped the essence of freedom and self-respect:

Losing one glove
is certainly painful,
but nothing
compared to the pain,
of losing one,
throwing away the other,
and finding
the first one again.
