+#+begin_quote
+ Neural networks are one of the most beautiful programming paradigms
+ ever invented. In the conventional approach to programming, we tell
+ the computer what to do, breaking big problems up into many small,
+ precisely defined tasks that the computer can easily perform. By
+ contrast, in a neural network we don't tell the computer how to solve
+ our problem. Instead, it learns from observational data, figuring out
+ its own solution to the problem at hand.
