Edsger W. Dijkstra

The question of whether Machines Can Think… is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim. Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a quality that decides between success and failure. Thank goodness we don’t have only serious problems, but ridiculous ones as well. Probably I am very naive, but I also think I prefer to remain so, at least for the time being and perhaps for the rest of my life.
