Edsger Dijkstra Quotes

The question of whether computers can think is just like the question of whether submarines can swim Picture Quote #1

If the tool is a programming language this influence is, whether we like it or not, an influence on our thinking habits... A programming language is a tool that has profound influence on our thinking habits Picture Quote #1
The effort of using machines to mimic the human mind has always struck me as rather silly. I would rather use them to mimic something better Picture Quote #1
Thanks to the greatly improved possibility of communication, we overrate its importance. Even stronger, we underrate the importance of isolation Picture Quote #1
The tools we use have a profound and devious influence on our thinking habits, and therefore on our thinking abilities Picture Quote #1
