in reply to Wall of Larry Quest
I've found couple of Larry's quotes in my collection:
The important thing is not what you know, but knowing how you learn mo +re. It's not knowing the right answer; it's knowing how to ask the ri +ght questions. -- Larry Wall (https://spu.edu/depts/uc/response/spr2k +/wall.html) Raising different kids requires different approaches, just like comput +er problems do. -- Larry Wall The only way to become smart is to be stupid first. -- Larry Wall I daresay the majority of large companies are still using Perl, even i +f their managers don't know they're using it. ;-) -- Larry Wall (http +s://developers.slashdot.org/story/16/07/14/1349207/the-slashdot-inter +view-with-larry-wall) We are taught to value simplicity and beauty. That's nice. I like circ +les too. However, complexity is not always the enemy. What's importan +t is not simplicity or complexity, but how to bridge the two. -- Larr +y Wall (http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/opensources/book/larry.html) and so far they seem like a great bunch of folks. the sort of folk who + just like to quietly do good in the world :) -- TimToady a.k.a. Larr +y Wall (http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2013-10-17#i_7723873) The greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to others, not +by how much you can coerce others to do that you want. -- Larry Wall +(http://www.wall.org/~larry/pm.html) Perl is obviously my attempt to help other people to be creative. In m +y little way, I'm sneakily helping people understand a bit more about + the sort of people God likes. -- Larry Wall (http://interviews.slash +dot.org/story/02/09/06/1343222/larry-wall-on-perl-religion-and) It is an unfortunate fact that, human nature being what it is, an ounc +e of cheerleading often beats a pound of rational discussion. -- Larr +y Wall (http://interviews.slashdot.org/story/02/09/06/1343222/larry-w +all-on-perl-religion-and) TimToady thinks in his more arrogant moments that Perl 5 is great beca +use it was designed to allow a CPAN to develop... -- Larry Wall on #p +erl6 (http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2012-11-13#i_6150123) It can get confusing. Hey, I'm confused most of the time. -- Larry Wal +l, Perl Cookbook's foreword The essential thing "in heaven and earth" is ... that there should be +long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has +always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth +living. -- Friedrich Nietzsche (http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensource +s/book/larry.html) Similarly, Perl was designed to be a mess (though in the nicest of pos +sible ways). -- Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution +(http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/larry.html): Larry Wall +(1999)
