  "Once men turned their thinking over to 
   machines in the hope that this would
   set them free. But that only permitted
   other men with machines to enslave
   them." - Frank P. Herbert, Jr., 1965
  
  "The programmer, like the poet, works
   only slightly removed from pure
   thought-stuff. He builds his castles
   in the air, from air, creating by
   exertion of the imagination." 
   - Fred P. Brooks, Jr., 1975
