Lisp has jokingly been called "the most intelligent way to misuse a computer". I think that description is a great compliment because it transmits the full flavor of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts. -- Edsger Dijkstra, CACM, 15:10

All great things require great dedication. -- Chuck Norris(?)

Since programmers create programs out of nothing, imagination is our only limitation. Thus, in the world of programming, the hero is the one who has great vision. Paul Graham is one of our contemporary heroes. He has the ability to embrace the vision, and to express it plainly. His works are my favorites, especially the ones describing language design. He explains secrets of programming, languages, and human nature that can only be learned from the hacker experience. This book shows you his great vision, and tells you the truth about the nature of hacking. -- Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, creator of Ruby

Je crois au flooding. -- Karim BAINA (en parlant du dailogue avec les administrations)

And if you go too far up, abstraction-wise, you run out of oxygen. Sometimes smart thinkers just don't know when to stop, and they create these absurd, all-encompassing, high-level pictures of the universe that are all good and fine, but don't actually mean anything at all. -- Joel Spolsky

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. –Beverly Sills

15.Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. –Charles Swindoll

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter. ~Francis Chan

No masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist.~ Anonymous
