More quotes by Richard Stallman
Programming is not a science. Programming is a craft.
Richard Stallman
People sometimes ask me if it is a sin in the Church of Emacs to use vi. Using a free version of vi is not a sin it is a penance. So happy hacking.
Richard Stallman
The interesting thing about cloud computing is that we've redefined cloud computing to include everything that we already do.
Richard Stallman
Somebody is saying this is inevitable – and whenever you hear somebody saying that, it's very likely to be a set of businesses campaigning to make it true.
Richard Stallman
My favorite programming languages are Lisp and C. However, since around 1992 I have worked mainly on free software activism, which means I am too busy to do much programming. Around 2008 I stopped doing programming projects.
Richard Stallman
I'm the last survivor of a dead culture. And I don't really belong in the world anymore. And in some ways I feel I ought to be dead.
Richard Stallman
Playfully doing something difficult, whether useful or not, that is hacking.

Richard Stallman
You can use any editor you want, but remember that vi vi vi is the text editor of the beast.
Richard Stallman
No person, no idea, and no religion deserves to be illegal to insult, not even the Church of Emacs.
Richard Stallman
To be able to choose between proprietary software packages is to be able to choose your master. Freedom means not having a master.
Richard Stallman
Now that corporations dominate society and write the laws, each advance or change in technology is an opening for them to further restrict or mistreat its users.
Richard Stallman
Snow is so beautiful, it doesn't have to be useful.
Richard Stallman
I never imagined that the Free Software Movement would spawn a watered-down alternative, the Open Source Movement, which would become so well-known that people would ask me questions about open source thinking that I work under that banner.
Richard Stallman
The principal lesson of Emacs is that a language for extensions should not be a mere extension language. It should be a real programming language, designed for writing and maintaining substantial programs. Because people will want to do that!
Richard Stallman
If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs.
Richard Stallman
The idea of copyright did not exist in ancient times, when authors frequently copied other authors at length in works of non-fiction. This practice was useful, and is the only way many authors' works have survived even in part.
Richard Stallman
Geeks like to think that they can ignore politics, you can leave politics alone, but politics won't leave you alone.
