Here the ones I've added to my own quotes file:

	I've been around long enough to have seen an endless parade of
	magic new techniques du jour, most of which purport to remove
	the necessity of thought about your programming problem.  In the
	end they wind up contributing one or two pieces to the
	collective wisdom, and fade away in the rearview mirror. --
	Walter Bright

	Making non-nullable pointers is just plugging one hole in a
	cheese grater. -- Walter Bright

Here's a funny one:

	My father told me I wasn't at all afraid of hard work. I could
	lie down right next to it and go to sleep. -- Walter Bright
