Definitions and quotes

Computer
A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
Programming
Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?
Brian Kernighan, "The Elements of Programming Style", 2nd edition, chapter 2
Programming
If you lie to the computer, it will get you.
Perry Farrar (1985) attributed to Farrar in John Bentley (1985) "Bumper-Sticker Computer Science". In: Communications of the ACM, Vol 28. Nr.9, p. 899
Programming
Computers are man's attempt at designing a cat: it does whatever it wants, whenever it wants, and rarely ever at the right time.
