Quote of the day

“Many forms of typesetting have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that LaTeX is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that LaTeX is the worst form of typesetting except for all those other systems that have been tried from time to time ... “

Winston Churchill, 11 November 1947
