[McIlroy78] The Bell System Technical Journal. Bell Laboratories. M. D. McIlroy, E. N. Pinson, and B. A. Tague. "Unix Time-Sharing System Forward". 1978. 57 (6,part2). p.1902.
And I was wrong.. that was from Doug McIlroy not Ken Thompson. The only Ken Thompson quote I could find was "When in Doubt Use Brute Force."
citation please (might be: The UNIX Programming Environment, but I don't recognize the pull quote as such) ... this looks more like: Mike Gancarz: The UNIX Philosophy (I've only a copy of the 1st ed.)
thanks
