If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.
Edsger Dijkstra

From then on, when anything went wrong with a computer, we said it had bugs in it.
Grace Hopper

Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad.
John Corbett

It's true, I had hacked into a lot of companies, and took copies of the source code to analyze it for security bugs. If I could locate security bugs, I could become better at hacking into their systems. It was all towards becoming a better hacker.
Kevin Mitnick

One bug in an SMTP server can open up the whole machine for intrusion.
Wietse Venema

Natural grass is a wonderful thing for little bugs and sinkerball pitchers.
Dan Quisenberry

Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!
Edsger Dijkstra

Once the love bug wears off, as it inevitably does, you are shocked to discover that you really didn't know the object of your affections at all. We know this to be so, even as we repeat the same mistake over and over and over.
Bette Davis

A design remedy that prevents bugs is always preferable to a test method that discovers them.
Boris Beizer

It really bugs me that someone will tell me, after I spent 20 years being educated, how I'm supposed to think.
Clarence Thomas
14.
Sometimes you're the windshield; sometimes you're the bug.
Mark Knopfler
15.
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow (e.g., given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone).
Eric S. Raymond
16.
A test that reveals a bug has succeeded, not failed.
Boris Beizer
17.
Hey, we all have our fear. Mine is bugs and lobsters!
Brooke Burke

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.
Steven Tyler

Bugs is who we want to be. Daffy is who we are.
Chuck Jones

I find that writing unit tests actually increases my programming speed
Martin Fowler
21.
Up to a point, it is better to just let the snags [bugs] be there than to spend such time in design that there are none.
Alan Turing
22.
There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed.
Bill Gates
23.
Each new user of a new system uncovers a new class of bugs.
Brian Kernighan

MRSA, which is a kind of super bug mutant, is killing 10,000 people a year in Britain
George Galloway

A well installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.
Ken Thompson

The word trill really REALLY bugs me! Like who made that up???
Kim Kardashian

There has never been an unexpectedly short debugging period in the history of computers.
Steven Levy

Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
Michael Palin

The lightning-bug is brilliant, but he hasn't any mind;
He stumbles through existence with his headlight on behind.
Eugene Fitch Ware
32.
I don’t expect to find inspiration. It just sort of comes. Sometimes you step on a bug and you get inspired.
Iris Apfel
33.
I've never been compared to Bugs Bunny and that's amazing, thank you.
John Krasinski
34.
I'm empathetic to a fault. I really do - embarrassingly enough - tear up when someone squishes a bug in front of me.
Kristen Bell
35.
I loved being outside. We'd hold lightning bugs in our fingers and pretend they were diamond rings.
Loretta Lynn
36.
More than the act of testing, the act of designing tests is one of the best bug preventers known.
Boris Beizer
37.
There is an incredibly large spectrum of possible causes for program bugs, including simple typos, "thinkos," hidden limitations of underlying abstractions, and outright bugs in abstractions or their implementation.
Guido van Rossum
38.
The critic's symbol should be the tumble-bug: he deposits his egg in somebody else's dung, otherwise he could not hatch it.
Mark Twain
40.
Bugs are not going to inherit the earth. They own it now. So we might as well make peace with the landlord.
Thomas Eisner
41.
I started racing myself and once you get bitten by that bug you really are hooked.
Nick Mason
42.
Testing is the process of comparing the invisible to the ambiguous, so as to avoid the unthinkable happening to the anonymous.
James Marcus Bach
43.
There's no such thing as a simple cache bug.
Rob Pike
44.
With software products, it is usual to find that the software has major `bugs' and does not work reliably for some users... The lay public, familiar with only a few incidents of software failure, may regard them as exceptions caused by exceptionally inept programmers. Those of us who are software professionals know better; the most competent programmers in the world cannot avoid such problems.
David Parnas
45.
Second law: The complexity barrier. Software complexity (and therefore that of bugs) grows to the limits of our ability to manage that complexity.
Boris Beizer

The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine!
Feels at each thread, and lives along the line.
Alexander Pope
47.
Nothing seems to please a fly so much as to be taken for a currant; and if it can be baked in a cake and palmed off on the unwary, it dies happy.
Mark Twain

Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
Donald Knuth

I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.
