There is a popular cliché ... which says that you cannot get out of computers any more than you have put in..., that computers can only do exactly what you tell them to, and that therefore computers are never creative.

I am not out to liberate anybody. You have to liberate yourself, and you are unable to do that. What I have to say will not do it.

Maybe I can convince you not to waste a lot of time and energy, looking for a state which does not exist except in your imagination. — U.G. Krishnamurti

There should be a word for that brief period just after waking when the mind is full of warm pink nothing. You lie there entirely empty of thought, except for a growing suspicion that heading towards you, like a sockful of damp sand in a nocturnal alleyway, are all the recollections you'd really rather do without, and which amount to the fact that the only mitigating factor in your horrible future is the certainty that it will be quite short. — Terry Pratchett
