Mark Twain and Bankers

A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Edith Sitwell

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors.
