More From Donald Knuth
- "People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird."
- "Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it."
- "I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one’s contributions to computer science."

- "There are an infinite number of boring things to do in science."― David Eagleman
