“If you aren’t pissing someone off you are not trying hard enough.”

“I got tired of mediocrity years ago, so I will leave you to it?”

This one she credits to me; and I have to say I now vaguely remember ranting about this late one night in Zürich, most likely after having sat through yet another weekly global staffing meeting, as always conveniently scheduled for Pacific US time :

“Why are you doing these terrible things – and why do I have to be there watching you do them?”

And - software engineering wisdom overheard one day by LH:

“This is why I love the mediocrity of others, I don’t have to be awesome, I just have to not suck.”
