Oh, I've seen copies [of Linux Journal] around the terminal room at The Labs.

UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.

The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Unix has retarded OS research by 10 years and linux has retarded it by 20.

C was already implemented on several quite different machines and OSs, Unix was already being distributed on the PDP-11, but the portability of the whole system was new

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.

C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around.

For infrastructure technology, C will be hard to displace.

A language that doesn't have everything is actually easier to program in than some that do

... with proper design, the features come cheaply. This approach is arduous, but continues to succeed.

I'm not a person who particularly had heros when growing up.

It is the mark of great people to treat trifles as trifles and important matters as important.

We buy our own toilet paper even here in the White House.

I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing.

The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.

The President's speech suggested to me that were we to follow his leadership, we will be in Iraq not for months, but for years. I also hope I am wrong on this.

It is in an ennobled soul only that the universal powers can do their work, especially if body, mind and soul have been equally trained and developed.

God designed the stomach to eject what is bad for it, but not the human brain.

No one ever dies wishing they'd spent more time at the office.

The most secure method, to ruin your health, is a SICK BED!

I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I'm a fast reader.
