The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.

 

Friedrich Nietzsche

 

I simultaneously believe that languages are wonderful and awful. You have to hold both of those. Ugly things can be beautiful. And beautiful can get ugly very fast. You know, take Lisp. You know, it's the most beautiful language in the world. At least up until Haskell came along. (laughter) But, you know, every program in Lisp is just ugly. I don't figure how that works.

 

Larry Wall

 

Ugly problems often require ugly solutions. Solving an ugly problem in a pure manner is bloody hard.

 

Rasmus Lerdorf

Colette

And furthermore, dear friends, I think that you and yours are delightful and I also think that me and mine are delightful too.

 

Ogden Nash
