quotes from Extreme Markup 2001 ( http://www.extrememarkup.com/ ) "We should all make allowances for each others' passionate excesses." "Engineering decisions entail ontological commitments." "Only we don't call it the Great Cloud Dragon ... some of us call it XML." "The management demands synergy and they want it fast and they want it cheap." "Good grammar and sincerity are not necessarily related." "Kant tells us always to treat human beings as an end in themselves, and never as network addressable resources." "I would argue this is far easier than XML Schema. 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times? Probably 100 times." "I've done six to seven levels of recursive processing -- if you need more than that then we need to talk." "Would you see yourself as basically a syntactic person?" "I've no idea what terms like 'understand' mean." "Although we have different opinions, we are having a productive discussion." ---- "When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. ..."
