"Life is neither a glorious highlight reel nor a monstrous tragedy. Every day is a good day to live and a good day to die. Every day is also an apt time to learn and express joy and love for the entire natural world. Each day is an apt time to make contact with other people and express empathy for the entire world. Each day is perfect to accept with indifference all aspects of being."

Kilroy J. Oldster, American Author

Complexity

"We toast the Lisp programmer who pens his thoughts within nests of parentheses."

Thought

"You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing vitality of FORTRAN."
