Donald Knuth:

``Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.''

Axiome de Cann:

`` Quand rien ne marche, il est recommandé de lire les instructions.''

Anonymous (sent to me by Richard Pattis)

`` In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but not in practice.''

Peter Gutmann

``I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab. I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate. All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last week. Time to die...''

Anais Nin:

``We do not see things as they are; we see them as we are..''

Pablo Picasso

``Los ordenadores son inutiles. Solo pueden darte respuestas.''

Martin Fowler

``The alt.net mind-set is one that is very familiar to me. It has that mix of agile + object-orientation + patterns + TDD + DDD which is very much the school of software development that I favor. (Lacking a proper name for it, I'm inclined to call it the OOPSLA school of software development.)''
