I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
Time is a river that flows backward as much as it flows forward.
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
We will never run out of things to program as long as there is a single program around.
