Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!

If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim.

Programming is one of the most difficult branches of applied mathematics; the poorer mathematicians had better remain pure mathematicians.

The lurking suspicion that something could be simplified is the world's richest source of rewarding challenges.

Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.

The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise.

Simplicity and elegance are unpopular because they require hard work and discipline to achieve and education to be appreciated.

Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.

Teaching COBOL ought to be regarded as a criminal act.

Perfecting oneself is as much unlearning as it is learning.

The revolution has no leader, I said. It was more like a raging wild horse that would buck anyone who tried to mount it against its will.

Yeah, Hera was definitely channelling her inner Wicked Witch of the West that day.

I just like short hair on women I think it's cool.

Don't you hate it when...your suitcase is the last one off the airplane?

Western history has been a history of deed done, actions performed and results achieved.

God doesn't author hardship but uses it to strengthen us for greater conquests. He never leads us into a storm that He doesn't give us the power to overcome.

Basically, you can't make a pop culture reference now without someone saying it's Tarantino-esque or post-Tarantino and I'm like where's that all come from? It's ridiculous. But it's not his fault.

The words 'I will forgive you, but I'll never forget what you've done' never explain the real nature of forgiveness.

Welcome to the information age. Data, data, everywhere, but no one knows a thing.

We exhaust ourselves more from the tension and the consequences of internal disharmony than from hard, unremitting work.
