Quotes by Larry Wall

If you don't know who Larry Wall is then never mind.

Here's a sampler:

"Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi."

"Hubris itself will not let you be an artist."

"Real programmers can write assembly code in any language."

The rest are here. But I warn you. I've shown you the only ones that are not inane.
