Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' — Max Planck

Orchids were not made by an ideal engineer; they are jury-rigged from a limited set of available components. — Stephen Jay Gould
The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. — Ada Lovelace
Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way. So, if all goes well, they're going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels. I guess that's better living through bugs. — John Doerr
If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in. — Edsger Dijkstra
