"...there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult"
Tony Hoare, 1980 ACM Turing Award Lecture

"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."
Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

"'Regression testing'? What's that? If it compiles, it is good, if it boots up it is perfect."
Linus Benedict Torvalds

"Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." Donald Ervin Knuth
"Programming is debugging a blank sheet of paper." Gerald Jay Sussman

"Computational processes are abstract beings that inhabit computers. As they evolve, processes manipulate other abstract things called data. The evolution of a process is directed by a pattern of rules called a program. People create programs to direct processes. In effect, we conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells."
The SICP, Harold Abelson & Gerald Sussman

If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is a "protected virtual base pure virtual private destructor" and when was the last you needed one?
