Some Things Just Take Time | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings
"There’s a reason we have cooling-off periods for some important decisions in one’s life. We recognize that people need time to think about what they’re doing, and that doing something right once doesn’t mean much because you need to be able to do it over a longer period of time."
