#1531A formal parsing algorithm should not always be used.
-- D. Gries
#1532A Fortran compiler is the hobgoblin of little minis.
#1533A hacker does for love what others would not do for money.
#1534A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is

-- Dennis M. Ritchie

by being declared to work.
-- Anatol Holt
#1537A LISP programmer knows the value of everything, but the cost of nothing.

#1539A little retrospection shows that although many fine, useful software systems
have been designed by committees and built as part of multipart projects,
those software systems that have excited passionate fans are those that are
the products of one or a few designing minds, great designers. Consider Unix,
APL, Pascal, Modula, the Smalltalk interface, even Fortran; and contrast them
with Cobol, PL/I, Algol, MVS/370, and MS-DOS.
-- Fred Brooks

Knuth. When he arrived, the Master was nowhere to be found. "Where is the

pilgrimage across the mountains to the temple of AI to seek out new
disciples."
Hearing this, the man was Enlightened.
