From GEB, Hofstadter's law - "It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law."
From IAASL - “In the end, we self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages are little miracles of self-reference.”

I was influecend by this book GEB, and by "The Mind's I".
