I write my programs primarily for myself.

After two weeks of working on a project, you know whether it will work or not.

I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer.

To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better.

You will be able to program a robot to follow a track on the ground and manipulate a hand. You can also write little programs that will give the robots goals.

The power of the computer is starting to spread.

On the robot kit, I can choose very boring parts or I can choose exciting and interesting parts. That is a reflection of my personality and the kinds of things I am interested in.

A quiet personality sure isn't what you need to attract attention.

I think a craft becomes an art form when the space of possible solutions becomes so huge that engineering can't carry you through.

Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.

Even in peace there is war.

Love is the beauty of life.

All their life, people work hard to earn money, and they never earn enough money to fulfill their dreams. Is this a paradox?

I'm bound to fail when I write in Italian, but unlike my sense of failure in the past, this doesn't torment or grieve me.

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

If the wicked flourish and the fittest survive, Nature must be the god of rascals.

We endeavour to employ only symmetrical figures, such as should not only be an aid to reasoning, through the sense of sight, but should also be to some extent elegant in themselves.

I used to need the character but as I've gotten older I need it less and less - I prefer to play some version of myself. To approach any acting job as me just being me.

I'm not saying it because I'm sweet. I'm saying it because I love you now and I always have. More than you can imagine.

Birds are, perhaps, the most eloquent expression of reality.
