Image of Francis Crick
You can do reverse engineering, but you can’t do reverse hacking.
- Francis Crick

Image of Edsger Dijkstra
The required techniques of effective reasoning are pretty formal, but as long as programming is done by people that don't master them, the software crisis will remain with us and will be considered an incurable disease. And you know what incurable diseases do: they invite the quacks and charlatans in, who in this case take the form of Software Engineering gurus.
- Edsger Dijkstra

Recession doesn't deserve the right to exist. There are just too many things to be done in science and engineering to be bogged down by temporary economic dislocations.
- Walt Disney

Scientists investigate that which already is; Engineers create that which has never been.

Image of Fyodor Dostoevsky
To strive consciously for an object and to engage in engineering -- that is, incessantly and eternally to make new roads, wherever they may lead.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky

Image of James Dyson
Hire inexperience. This year we plan to hire 200 engineers - half of whom are recent grads. Young people are not burdened by years of experience. They haven't learned - or been told - what is right or wrong. With engineering, there is no tried and tested path. You try, and fail, and fix, and fail again.
- James Dyson

Image of Richard P. Feynman
In fact, the science of thermodynamics began with an analysis, by the great engineer Sadi Carnot, of the problem of how to build the best and most efficient engine, and this constitutes one of the few famous cases in which engineering has contributed to fundamental physical theory. Another example that comes to mind is the more recent analysis of information theory by Claude Shannon. These two analyses, incidentally, turn out to be closely related.
- Richard P. Feynman

Image of Bill Gates
An important re-engineering principle is that companies should focus on their core competence and outsource everything else.

Software is definitely engineering. It's different in that we take on novel tasks every time. It's not like building a certain bridge that is virtually identical to some previous bridge or some previous building.
- Bill Gates

Image of Frank Gehry
You have to do every detail on every bloody piece of the building. You have to know how the engineering works. You have to know how the fittings go together. You have to master the mechanical, electrical, acoustical - everything.
- Frank Gehry

Software will get to be somewhat more mature, ah, but it will never be as predictable as most areas of engineering.
- Bill Gates

Engineering is easy - it's the people problems that are hard.

The most troublesome problem which confronts social engineering is how to provide for the untalented and, what is equally important, how to provide against them.

Image of Norman Ralph Augustine
For every scientific (or engineering) action, there is an equal and opposite social reaction.
- Norman Ralph Augustine

Image of Stephen Hawking
Nuclear weapons need large facilities, but genetic engineering can be done in a small lab. You can't regulate every lab in the world. The danger is that either by accident or design, we create a virus that destroys us.
- Stephen Hawking

Image of Herbert Hoover
Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege.
- Herbert Hoover

Once confined to fantasy and science fiction, time travel is now simply an engineering problem.

You have the insanity that is geo-engineering which is a case in which you say the planet is heating up. Let's spray some aerosol and cool it down.
- Jonathon Keats

Image of Dolph Lundgren
I used to be a chemical-engineering student, but I started studying acting, and I went for a cattle call, up against hundreds of people. They tore me down because I was too tall. They said "How tall are you?" "6'5"." "Next."
- Dolph Lundgren
