Greetings,
I saw this: http://www.devtopics.com/101-great-computer-programming-quotesand from it gleamed a few prime cuts (a few of many), in my opinion;
"The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim." (Edsger W. Dijkstra)
"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies." (C.A.R. Hoare)
"There's an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone." (Bjarne Stroustrup)
"Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter." (Eric Raymond)
"C++ : Where friends have access to your private members." (Gavin Russell Baker)"
"The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit." (Anonymous)
and my favorite;
"Software is like sex: It's better when it's free." *(Linus Torvalds)*
Enjoy!
Regards, Steven
