A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine. — Alan Turing Copy Share Image
We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge. — Alan Turing Copy Share Image
Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no-one can imagine — Alan Turing Copy Share Image
No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American… — Alan Turing Copy Share Image
Instruction tables will have to be made up by mathematicians with computing experience and perhaps a certain puzzle-solving ability. There need be no real… — Alan Turing Copy Share Image
Sometimes it is those that nobody imagines anything of that does the things that nobody can imagne. — Alan Turing Copy Share Image
There is, however, one feature that I would like to suggest should be incorporated in the machines, and that is a 'random element.' Each… — Alan Turing Copy Share Image
