Linus Torvalds, the man who created Linux Kernel is well known for his funny, creative and constructive quotes. Here are the few quotes I liked.

We all know Linux is great … it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.

The only limiting factor of the Linux operating system is its user.

If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux, it means I’ve won.

A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open Windows.

Standards are paper. I use paper to wipe my butt every day. That’s how much that paper is worth.

Friends don’t let friends use [gcc] “-W”.

Those that can, do. Those that can’t, complain.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

Software is like sex; it’s better when it’s free.
