I think multiple levels of undo would be wonderful, too.

But no, I don't generally have trouble with spelling mistakes.

I started to write a new editor not too long ago and had it about half done after two days.

Systems are going to get a lot more sophisticated.

I think the Macintosh proves that everyone can have a bitmapped display.

Document preparation systems will also require large screen displays.

Well, limbo is not a good place to be.

Bitmap display is media compatible with dot matrix or laser printers.

I just don't like to lose what's in the window.

I got tired of people complaining that it was too hard to use UNIX because the editor was too complicated.

Interleaf is based on the formatting process.

The point is that you want to have a system that is responsive.

But with Interleaf I don't even have a spell program.

The fundamental problem with vi is that it doesn't have a mouse and therefore you've got all these commands.

I think editors have to come out of a certain kind of community.

I remember right after Carter got elected, I was sitting in my apartment in Albany, CA, on a Saturday listening to people call Carter and ask stupid questions while I designed the screen editor.

The reason I use ed is that I don't want to lose what's on the screen.

I think the hard thing about all these tools is that it takes a fair amount of effort to become proficient.

Interleaf is very nice. I expect there to be a lot of competition for programs like that.

That lack of programmability is probably what ultimately will doom vi. It can't extend its domain.

So Chuck and I looked at that and we hacked on em for a while, and eventually we ripped the stuff out of em and put some of it into what was then called en, which was really ed with some em features.

It is formatted, and I'm tired of using vi. I get really bored.

I think multiple levels of undo would be wonderful, too.

I had almost rewritten all of the display code for windows, and that was when I gave up.

I think it killed the performance on a lot of the systems in the Labs for years because everyone had their own copy of it, but it wasn't being shared, and so they wasted huge amounts of memory back when memory was expensive.

I wish we hadn't used all the keys on the keyboard.

I think the wonderful thing about vi is that it has such a good market share because we gave it away.

I think one of the interesting things is that vi is really a mode-based editor.

I was surprised about vi going in, though, I didn't know it was in System V.

There are always more smart people outside your company than within it.

The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it.

The conscience of the dying belies their life.

Cuba needs a dose of perestroika.

People have to know that there are options available to us today. There is another way, and it is practical and applicable now.

Shouldn't everybody join hands to give the basic minimum - food, education and health - to the entire population?

People say, 'Oh, God, how devastating to go through a divorce.' Did I wish for this to happen to my family? No. But everyone is healthy; we're moving on with our lives.

You hit one level of the sport, and then you want to get to the next level. Until, eventually, the Olympics becomes part of that dream, part of that goal set and the mindset of wanting to get there. And then you realize there's so much incredible hard work and determination and effort that you need to put in along the way.

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

My dad's a photographer. So I suppose he named me Ansel just in case I would take over the family business. I guess I failed him.

An agent said he didn't know what to do with me, I wouldn't be able to play any parts but lesbians and aliens.

My father and brothers were in the military.

I'd just turned 50, weighed 285, and my doctor had read me the riot act about my health.

Life is entirely unthinkable without any of the creative arts, and they're all a continuum - the force in question is creativity, not its mode of expression.

You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.

As soon as anybody puts anything on film, it automatically has a point of view, and it's somebody else's point of view, and it's impossible for it to be yours.

Nobody will be allowed to use Pakistan soil for any form of aggression toward any friend or foe.

Even the gates of Hell shall stay closed when Ted Bundy and Charles Manson come a knocking for even Satan fears they would glory themselves above him.

I'm always on the go. I love doing things until I hit rock bottom. Then I need my 12 hours of sleep, and I'm on the go again.

The internal conditions in Iran are worsening in all aspects. Poverty and unemployment are becoming more severe, despite the fact that Iran has turned into a developed and industrialized country.
