Heh, I just found a few nice quotes from the Haskell weekly news:

"Any sufficiently misguided opinion is indistinguishable from deep insight."

"One does not simply >>= into Mordor."

"I was TA for a C++ programming course aimed at 1st year physics once. 
Some girl asked for help. 'I wrote pseudo-code but I cannot translate it 
to C++'. Her pseudo-code was valid Haskell. I cried."

"I swear that most of higher-dimensional category theory must have been 
arrived at by some guys sitting around in a room with a blackboard and 
saying "What if a drew a diagram like *THIS*!?" and drawing some insane 
scribble up on the blackboard, and then everyone tries to figure out how 
to turn it into meaningful mathematics."

"If you read a haskell book or an FP book, by chapter 5 it's already 
doing data structures. It's chapter 10 in imperative books."

"I'm on a rollomorphism."
