A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Computers are like Old Testament gods lots of rules and no mercy.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.

I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.

Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back.

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.
