I can't find it, but I remember a quote something like this

> The initial GNU announcement was crazy. Rewriting all of Unix? It was like Stallman had said, "I need help building a free rocket ship to Mars, and I'm getting started right after I finish this Thanksgiving dinner."

I hope to one day be known for 1 really crazy idea that somehow paid off, and not the 999 obviously bad ideas that it took to get there.
