Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!

I was reading a book on Google, and it's historically unconventional IPO, when i came across this paragraph:

In fact, the Greeks believed that your fate is already sealed - you can no more tempt it than calculate the final digit of pi. In engineering terms, fate is a mathematical proof. Your free will to chose this day or that day for your IPO will, in the end, have nothing to do with your ultimate fate. This whole notion of tempting fate is bagatelle created by men terrified of math: the result, in the end, is simply the result. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!

HAHA!! I'll say it again!!

"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!"

In admittedly the geekiest thing to say out loud: I love the pun!! HAHA
