RIP Dennis Ritchie.
As Brian Kernighan, a colleague at Bell Labs, wrote, "The tools that Dennis built — and their direct descendants — run pretty much everything today,"
As a "tribute", I tried to collect some of his quotes from the Internet (Disclaimer: I have not assessed their veracity)

A language that doesn't have everything is actually easier to program in than some that do.
I can't recall any difficulty in making the C language definition completely open - any discussion on the matter tended to mention languages whose inventors tried to keep tight control, and consequent ill fate.
UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.
The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.
