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.

Pretty much everything on the web uses those two things: C and UNIX.

Plato offers the amazing idea that contemplation of the way things really are is, in itself, a purifying process that can bring human beings into the only divinity there is.

He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

The fastest way to see God is to notice people

A girl in a crown of stars was coming toward him, but before she could see who he was he slipped through his curtains of flesh.

Live in moments that consume your heart and mind, but be distracted by the music from the leaves, birds, wind, rain, sun and people

...I guess you're right - I am a priest - I offer sacrifices - so take this line, I want you to have something of mine...

In a relationship you have to open yourself up.

Promise yourself success at the beginning of each day, and you'll be surprised how often things will turn out that way.

Given the diverse raiment life sports, one never knows what the guises of the gods may be.
