I was reading some forum discussions about game design, and loved this:
Your gems are in the back of the stack: [junk, junk, mostly junk, kinda junk, gem]. Gotta keep popping the stack.

It’s programmer humor, but I like what it reminds me about game design. I just have to keep plugging away, designing one after another, until I find a gem.
