Algorithms Quote by Sariel Har-Peled

““We will start by sketching the recursive algorithm and then add details to get to a full description of the algorithm. Footnote : Translation: We will add details till the mess becomes both undecipherable and incomprehensible at the same time. Hopefully, the inner poetical and rhythmical beauty of the text will keep the reader going.””
