Some consider UNIX to be the second most important invention to come out of AT&T Bell Labs after the transistor.

UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.

The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Unix has retarded OS research by 10 years and linux has retarded it by 20.

C was already implemented on several quite different machines and OSs, Unix was already being distributed on the PDP-11, but the portability of the whole system was new

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.

C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around.

For infrastructure technology, C will be hard to displace.

A language that doesn't have everything is actually easier to program in than some that do

... with proper design, the features come cheaply. This approach is arduous, but continues to succeed.

You'll lose it, if you talk about it

Get comfortable with the idea that you won’t know what’s good until it’s already happened.

I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.

I like PETA as a group for many reasons, but one of the reasons that I admire them is that they say and do the things that other groups won't do.

Not less of love, but expanding Of love beyond desire, and so liberation From the Future as well as the past.

He who has suffered you to impose on him knows you.
