Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This is the first post in our new “Dev Tidbits” series, which looks at interesting, quirky and fun facts about developers in their professional and personal lives. "Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised."
