I get

Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must 
not only be
the implementer and first large--scale user; the designer should also 
write the first
user manual.
The separation of any of these four components would have hurt T E X 
significantly. If
I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds 
of improvements
would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them 
or per-
ceived why they were important.
But a system cannot be successful if it is too strongly influenced by a 
single person.
Once the initial design is complete and fairly robust, the real test 
begins as people
with many different viewpoints undertake their own experiments.
We thrive in information--thick worlds because of our marvelous and 
everyday ca-
pacity to select, edit, single out, structure, highlight, group, pair, 
merge, harmo-
nize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense, reduce, boil down, choose, 
categorize,
catalog, classify, list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate, 
discriminate, dis-
tinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over, sort, integrate, blend, 
inspect, filter, lump,
skip, smooth, chunk, average, approximate, cluster, aggregate, outline, 
summarize,
itemize, review, dip into, flip through, browse, glance into, leaf 
through, skim, re-
fine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow the wheat from the chaff and 
separate the
sheep from the goats.
