Surprised not to see any quotes from Dr. Dobb's interview with Kay from 2012 ( http://www.drdobbs.com/240003442 http://www.drdobbs.com/240003442 )
Some quotes from that interview:
"My interest in education is unglamorous. I don't have an enormous desire to help children, but I have an enormous desire to create better adults."
"Extracting patterns from today's programming practices ennobles them in a way they don't deserve."
"I like to say that in the old days, if you reinvented the wheel, you would get your wrist slapped for not reading. But nowadays people are reinventing the flat tire. I'd personally be happy if they reinvented the wheel, because at least we'd be moving forward. If they reinvented what Engelbart did we'd be way ahead of where we are now."
and so on...
