The best book on programming for the layman is Alice in Wonderland; but that's because it's the best book on anything for layman.

The best book on programming for the layman is Alice in Wond

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that Alice in Wonderland is not only the best book for laymen when it comes to programming, but also for any subject. It implies that the book's nonsensical and imaginative nature makes it relatable and easily understandable, even for someone without programming knowledge. Furthermore, it exemplifies the idea that using creative and unusual approaches can sometimes be more effective in teaching complex concepts to beginners.

You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colours from the same jewel. The same questions, asked again, bring you just the answers you need just the minute you need them.

Wars throughout history have been waged for conquest and plunder.... the working class who fight all the battles, the working class who make the supreme sacrifices, the working class who freely shed their blood and furnish their corpses, have never yet had a voice in either declaring war or making peace. It is the ruling class that invariably does both. They alone declare war and they alone make peace....They are continually talking about their patriotic duty. It is not their but your patriotic duty that they are concerned about. There is a decided difference. Their patriotic duty never takes them to the firing line or chucks them into the trenches.
