Edward Bear and Software

I just started reading Java Power Tools and the opening quote on the preface was this:

Here is Edward Bear coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.

-- "We are introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh and some bees, and the stories begin,"
Winnie the Pooh, A. A. Milne

What a great quote for software development!
