Konrad Zuse

I envisioned a world where computers would be ubiquitous.

The computer is a tool for creativity and discovery.

My contributions to computing were born out of necessity and ingenuity.

The computer is a fundamental invention of the 20th century.

I always sought practical solutions to theoretical problems.

The computer is a testament to the power of logical thought.

My work was a journey of exploration and invention.

I am building a machine that will be able to perform calculations automatically. It will be a 'thinking machine'.

My machine is not just for engineers; it is for everyone. It will change the world.

The war is a terrible distraction, but I must continue my work. The future depends on it.

Sometimes I feel like a lone wolf, pursuing an idea that no one else understands.

The Z3 is complete! It is the first fully automatic, program-controlled, and freely programmable computer in the world.

I dream of a world where computers are as common as telephones.

The Americans have their ENIAC, but my Z3 was built years before, under much more difficult circumstances.

My greatest regret is that my work was not fully recognized during my lifetime.

Logic is the foundation of everything. Without it, there is chaos.

The beauty of a machine lies in its simplicity and efficiency.

I am not interested in building weapons, only tools for progress.

The world needs more dreamers and fewer bureaucrats.

My wife, Gisela, has been my rock through all these difficult years.
