But just as astronomy succeeded astrology, following Kepler's discovery of planetary regularities, the discoveries of these many principles in empirical explorations of intellectual processes in machines should lead to a science, eventually.

You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way.

Anyone could learn Lisp in one day, except that if they already knew Fortran, it would take three days.

The secret of what anything means to us depends on how we've connected it to all the other things we know. That's why it's almost always wrong to seek the "real meaning" of anything. A thing with just one meaning has scarcely any meaning at all.

If we understood something just one way, we would not understand it at all.

But the big feature of human-level intelligence is not what it does when it is works but what it does when it's stuck.

Eventually, robots will make everything.
