Leonardo Boiko’s Diary

(Or: why I’m working at Google, part LXIV)

EDWARD: I’m in love, Chief.
SIR HENRY: So was I, once, but I shut myself up for a week, and worked at an air-machine. Grew so excited I forgot the girl. You try.

Another interesting quote from the book:

The engineer already knows a lot about restraint and cooperation. He is logical, sober, and well-meaning, a very good citizen. I submit that the study of the liberal arts will rob him of his innocence, stain his character, make him less “moral” — or, at least, less naïve. And this is exactly what the engineer needs.
