[Lisp is the] greatest single programming language ever designed.

Alan Kay

Because language is the carrier of ideas, it is easy to believe that it should be very little else than such a carrier.

Louise Bogan

It is a pleasure to give advice, humiliating to need it, normal to ignore it.

I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.

Abraham Lincoln

Common sense is judgment without reflection, shared by an entire class, an entire nation, or the entire human race.

Giambattista Vico

Life is just a bowl of pits.

Rodney Dangerfield

Is there anything in the universe more beautiful and protective than the simple complexity of a spider's web?

White, E.B.

We have made men proud of most vices, but not of cowardice. Whenever we have almost succeeded in doing so, God permits a war or an earthquake or some other calamity, and at once courage becomes so obviously lovely and important even in human eyes that all our work is undone, and there is still at least one vice of which they feel genuine shame. The danger of inducing cowardice in our patients, therefore, is lest we produce real self-knowledge and self-loathing, with consequent repentance and humility.

C.S. Lewis

We must laugh before we are happy, for fear we die before we laugh at all.

Jean de la Bruyere

I have no business being a journalist. I'm the least, I'm the least - I'm the most trusting, I absolutely make a habit of believing anything that anybody tells me about themselves. I've never had any reason in the world to think that anyone has wanted to harm me, or lie to me. I believe whatever is being sold, most of the time.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations. Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind.

Henry David Thoreau
