Complexity

"Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it."

Complexity

Thought

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

Attitude

"Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer."

Science

"The computing field is always in need of new cliches."
