Algorithms Quote by Catherynne M. Valente
““He considers it for a moment and spits out the seeds, which sprout, quickly, into tiny junkblossoms sizzling with recursive algorithms. The algorithms wriggle through thorny vines, veins of clotted pink juice.””
About This Quote

![“Object-oriented programming aficionados think that everything is an object… this [isn't] so. There are things that are objects. Things that have state and change their state are objects.

![“The classes of problems which are respectively known and not known to have good algorithms are of great theoretical interest.
