Linus Torvalds
If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.

Linus Torvalds

Linus Torvalds
Eventually the revolutionaries become the established culture, and then what will they do
Linus Torvalds
I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
Linus Torvalds

Linus Torvalds
Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.
Linus Torvalds
Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money. As such, I'm not very likely to make the same kind of money that Bill made.
Linus Torvalds
I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.
Linus Torvalds
