Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

I am a design chauvinist. I believe that good design is magical and not to be lightly tinkered with. The difference between a great design and a lousy one is in the meshing of the thousand details that either fit or don't, and the spirit of the passionate intellect that has tied them together, or tried. That's why programming-- or buying software-- on the basis of "lists of features" is a doomed and misguided effort. The features can be thrown together, as in a garbage can, or carefully laid together and interwoven in elegant unification, as in APL, or the Forth language, or the game of chess.: Ted Nelson
I have done some indiscreet things in my day, but this thing of playing myself for a prophet was the worst. Still, it had its ameliorations. A prophet doesn't have to have any brains. They are good to have, of course, for the ordinary exigencies of life, but they are no use in professional work. It is the restfulest vocation there is. When the spirit of prophecy comes upon you, you merely take your intellect and lay it off somewhere in a cool place for a rest, and unship your jaw and leave it alone; it will work itself. The result is prophecy.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.: Dick Brandon
Goodnight: Lord Byron (1788 - 1824), last words
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exaulted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy...neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.: John W. Gardner (1912 - 2002)
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.: Earl of Kent, _The_Tragedy_of_King_Lear_
I said to my girl, 'Was it good for you too?' And she said, 'I don't think this was good for anybody.': Gary Shandling
It's said that if you can't say something good about a dead person, don't say it. Well, I consider him dead.: Thurgood Marshall (1908 - 1993), (Former Chief Justice), on President George Bush
There is nothing like good food, good wine, and a bad girl.: Fortune cookie
