echo Your stdio isnt very std. — Larry Wall

"Perl programming is an *empirical* science!"

"There aint nothin in this world thats worth being a snot over."

"Because . doesnt match \n. [\0-\377] is the most efficient way to match everything currently. Maybe \e should match everything. And \E would of course match nothing."

"Yknow, there are other possibilities if we assume that filenames are UTF-8...yikes...wait, put down that meat cleaver! Aieeee!!!"

"Besides, including <std_ice_cubes.h> is a fatal error on machines that dont have it yet. Bad language design, there..."

"Tcl long ago fell into the Forth trap, and is now trying desperately to extricate itself (with some help from Suns marketing department)."
