“I told you, computers are like women. If you shout at them or ask them to do too many things at once, they shut down and you won't even get a sniff”

“Somebody once told me that good friends are like Tootie Pops, if you don't bite them they won't bite you. Erin Swift”

“Girls like her, my grandfather once warned me, girls like her turn into women with eyes like bullet holes and mouths made of knives. They are always restless. They are always hungry. They are bad news. They will drink you down like a shot of whisky. Falling in love with them is like falling down a flight of stairs. What no one told me, with all those warnings, is that even after you’ve fallen, even after you know how painful it is, you’d still get in line to do it again.”

“Hearts don't really get broken, but if you practice too hard with them, they can get quite hurt. It feels like they won't get better, but they do.”

“Computers are great because when you're working with them you get immediate results that let you know if your program works. It's feedback you don't get from many other things.”

“Too many told me 'you can't, you won't, impossible.' I did. I can. I will.”
