The future of computing is head-mounted displays that immerse us in data worlds.

Innovation comes from playing with ideas, not following rules.

Handcuffs in a virtual room would confine you just as well as real ones.

Life is too short for bad user interfaces.

Computer graphics will change how we see the world, literally.

Persistence of vision in displays mirrors our own perception of reality.

The mouse was a tool for drawing in the digital age.

True progress in CS is measured by how intuitively we interact with machines.

Virtual worlds are canvases for the mind.

Don't fear the computer; teach it to fear your creativity.

Every great program starts with a sketch.

In the realm of computation, imagination is the ultimate algorithm.

Displays should serve the user, not dictate the experience.

The joy of programming is in the unexpected discoveries.

Graphics hardware evolves, but the principles of interaction endure.

A good system anticipates the user's next move.

Virtual reality isn't escape; it's expansion of reality.

Constraints in design breed creativity.

Computers think in bits; humans dream in colors.

The Sketchpad taught me that direct manipulation is key to usability.
