"I never am really satisfied that I understand anything; because, understand it well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand about the many connections and relations which occur to me, how the matter in question was first thought of or arrived at, etc., etc." -- Ada Lovelace (b. 1815-12-10, d. 1852-11-27), mathematician and the world's first computer programmer.
