A mathematical formula should never be "owned" by anybody! Mathematics belong to God.

Programming is the art of telling another human being what one wants the computer to do.

Random numbers should not be generated with a method chosen at random

Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind.

People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird.

Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it.

Programs are meant to be read by humans and only incidentally for computers to execute.

We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil.

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.

The whole thing that makes a mathematician’s life worthwhile is that he gets the grudging admiration of three or four colleagues.

Victim complex are so dangerous because they automatically attract imperious and authoritative individuals in their lives

A writer is the one who loves to write . . . on and about anything . . . And this clears that I am a writer!!

I did that thing where you scratch your eyebrow and flip someone off at the same time. I'm good at multitasking like that.

But indifference would ultimately commend itself as a devastating weapon.

While I support initiatives to improve quality and efficiency in Medicare, I do not believe that these efficiencies should come at the cost of patient well being.

I dreamed that I was being raped by Freddy Mercury.

One cannot find peace in work or in pleasure, in the world or in a convent, but only in one's soul.
