Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
John F. Kennedy
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up
James Magary

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
Joseph Campbell
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

On two occasions I have been asked,\\\"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?\\\" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
Charles Babbage
Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important.
