Fred Hoyle

Christopher Morley

"My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed."

Rich Cook

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot- proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

Carl Zwanzig

"Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together..."

Albert Einstein

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
