The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

LISP is a mental attitude rather than a programming language.

Mental illness.

It uses a certain process of the mind expressed spontaneously through keyboard. I'm concerned with retaining that process.

You should hang out with tdavis of LoseThos fame, he experimented a lot with various spontaneous expressions through keyboards and other peripherals, and he too is concerned with retaining his state of mind, as it provides him both with inspiration/purpose and with an easy sustenance in form of a disability pension.

I couldn't be bothered to read any of your verbal diarrhea past the first line, if there are some more cute nuggets, please repost them.
