"You really need to realize that reality is messy, and things cannot be pefect. You also need to realize and *understand* that aiming for 'good' is actually much BETTER than trying to aim for 'perfect'. Perfect is the enemy of good."

— Linus Torvalds, in a May 2nd, 2008 message on the Linux kernel mailing list.
