Edsger W. Dijkstra
“Lisp has jokingly been called “the most intelligent way to misuse a computer”. I think that description is a great compliment because it transmits the full flavor of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts.”
Edsger W. Dijkstra

Sherman Alexie
“You wouldn't think there is anything life threatening about speech impediments, but let me tell you, there is nothing more dangerous than being a kid with a stutter and a lisp.”
Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
