Marvin Minsky
You don't understand anything unless you understand there are at least 3 ways.
Marvin Minsky

Marvin Minsky
Eventually, robots will make everything.
Marvin Minsky
Will robots inherit the earth? Yes, but they will be our children.
Marvin Minsky
Everything, including that which happens in our brains, depends on these and only on these: A set of fixed, deterministic laws.
Marvin Minsky
We turn to quantities when we can't compare the qualities of things.
Marvin Minsky
I believed in realism, as summarized by John McCarthy's comment to the effect that if we worked really hard, we'd have an intelligent system in from four to four hundred years.
